"This book describes the iwi of Ngāti Kahu through the traditions and histories of each of the sixteen hapū, told by kuia and kaumātua and kept alive for future generations. These include histories of poverty, deprivation and marginalisation at the hands of the Crown, and loss of lands of the iwi. The book examines the range 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 Ngāti Kahu and the Crown are set out. These include constitutional change to achieve the restoration of political, social and economic well-being to Ngāti Kahu, Crown relinquishment of all Ngāti Kahu lands to their rightful owners and payment of sufficient compensation to ensure no further Treaty of Waitangi claims. This history of Ngāti Kahu details the range of Crown actions against Ngāti Kahu to the current day, the effects of these actions on the people of Ngāti Kahu and the concerted and continuing efforts by Ngāti Kahu for remedies and reconciliation with the Crown"--Publisher information.

Edition Notes
"The first five chapters of this book identify and describe Ngāti Kahu according to the traditions, history, values and world view passed down to us from our ancestors. Chapter 6 details how our relationship with our English guests went so horribly wrong. Chapter 7 sets out how that is to be fixed up, and contains all the elements of our Yellow Book, which defined what Ngāti Kahu will accept as a full settlement - the principled ideal. the deed set out in Chapter 8 demonstrates what had actually been achieved towards that ideal by 2015, and what Ngāti Kahu agreed to accept - a pragmatic compromise"-- Page xix.
