TRUSTEES
The trustees of the Ngāti Ruapani mai Waikaremoana negotiation group were elected to negotiate with the Crown for a complete settlement on behalf of Ngāti Ruapani uri, and they have now completed this process. Together with the haukainga, they are preparing to seek your support and vote on the Deed of Settlement proposal and the post-settlement governance entity. We encourage you to read their profiles to understand their motivations and the efforts that led to this significant milestone.
