Tūhoe is negotiating a settlement of horrific historical claims against the Crown. The key component of the settlement address is the future status of 212,000 ha contained in the Te Urewera National Park currently owned by the Crown. This land is the historic and current homelands of Tūhoe who continue to own substantial but smaller pockets of land alongside and within park boundaries.
One Tūhoe settlement objective is to have the land returned to Tūhoe ownership without encumbrances, including the removal of the current National Park status. The Crown wants to settle the historical claims of Tūhoe and is prepared to consider a change of ownership and park status. This is conditional on any future status being able to meet the needs of other stakeholders and the guarantee that conservation and bio-diversity principles and objectives currently set out in the national park legislation will continue. We believe that the Te Urewera will only improve under Tūhoe ownership together with strong collaboration with other Park user groups.
