Ngati Kahu - Portrait of a Sovereign Nation

This book describes the iwi of Ng¿ti Kahu through the traditions and histories of each of the sixteen hap¿, told by kuia and kaum¿tua. These include histories of poverty, deprivation and marginalisation at the hands of the Crown and loss of 95 percent of the lands of the iwi. The book examines the variety of techniques used by the Crown to justify its actions and the way these laid the groundwork for continuing injustices. The remedies needed to redress these injustices and achieve reconciliation of Ng¿ti Kahu and the Crown are set out. These include constitutional change to achieve the restoration of political, social and economic well-being to Ng¿ti Kahu, Crown relinquishment of all Ng¿ti Kahu lands to their rightful owners and payment of sufficient compensation to ensure no further Treaty of Waitangi claims.
