Te Tai – Treaty Settlement Stories

Raupatu

Waikato-Tainui

Raupatu

In 1995, the Crown formally acknowledged the wrongful confiscation of 1.2 million acres of Waikato land with a Treaty settlement of $170 million, signed by Queen Elizabeth II. Raupatu is the story of rangatira forging the Waikato-Tainui settlement and leading the tribe’s development over the ensuing 25 years.

Waikato-Tainui have chosen to use double-vowels rather than macrons in this feature.
