I te tau 1995, ko Waikato-Tainui te iwi tuatahi ki te whakaae ki te whakataunga Tiriti o Waitangi me te Karauna. Nā Te Arikinui Te Atairangikaahu rāua ko te Pirimia Jim Bolger i waitohu i te whakaaetanga whakataunga ki te marae o Tūrangawaewae. Ka tuku hoki Kuini Irihapeti II i te whakaaetanga roera ki te Waikato Raupatu Claims Settlement Act i te toronga mi ki Aotearoa i te mutunga o taua tau, e waitohu ana i mua i te aroaro o Te Arikinui me ngā kaumātua o Waikato. Nā tēnei whakataunga i tuku te puretumu me te whakapāha mō te raupatu o ngā whenua o Waikato-Tainui i ngā 1860.
Ka hipa te tekau mā rima tau, i reira te tama a Te Arikinui, a Kīngi Tūheitia (taha mauī i te whakaahua nei) i te tau 2010, i te waitohutanga a te Kāwana Tiānara Anand Satyanand (waenganui) i te Waikato-Tainui Raupatu Claims (Waikato River) Settlement Act. Ko te take o te Ture kia whakatūturu i te hauora me te oranga o te Awa o Waikato mō ngā whakatupuranga e heke mai nei, me te whakatū i te whakahaere ngātahi o te awa e te Karauna me Waikato-Tainui.
Kei runga i te tēpu te mere pounamu ōkawa i tukuna e Waikato-Tainui ki te Karauna i te wā o te whakataunga tuatahi.
