Ancillary Claim Properties

There are 32 individual claim properties, 9 of which are all based on customary fishing areas.

The total assessed value of the 32 properties is a little over $1,000,000.00, but the cultural value is of lasting significance to Ngāi Tahu descendants.

Research

The Ancillary Claims Trust was established in November 1998 and, since then, the priority has been to carry out the necessary research to establish the original owners.

This research has now been completed and this notice is the first of three notices to locate the descendants of the original owners in three groups of areas.

Pānui a Te Poari Tiaki Ngā Kerēme Turuki a Ngāi Tahu

He uri koe?

Ngā kō rero whakāmārama

I te 21 o Whiringa a Rangi 1997, i whakaurutia e Te Karauna me Te Rūnanga o Ngāi Tahu ki tētahi Whakaaetanga Whakataunga, i whakatakotohia ngā whakataunga hei whakatutuki i ngā kerēme i tonoa e te Rūnanga o Ngāi Tahu. Ko te wāhanga nui o te whakataunga e hāngai ana ki te kerēme matua mō te iwi o Ngāi Tahu.

Heoi, ko ngā kerēme iti e hāngai ana ki ngā hapū takitahi, ki ngā whānau rānei, i whakaritea ki te taha, ā, i whakatūria tētahi Poari Tiaki motuhake hei whakatutuki i ngā kerēme nei ki ngā uri o ngā kaipupuri whenua taketake, ngā kaipupuri taunga ika taketake i mōriroriroa i te wā roa i tua atu i te 100 tau.

Ngā Whenua Kerēme Turuki

E 32 ngā whenua kerēme takitahi, e 9 o ēnei i takea i ngā taunga ika manawhenua.

Ko te wariu kua aromatawainitia mō ēnei whenua kātahi ka piki ake i te $1,000,000.00 tāra, engari ko te tikanga ake ki ngā uri o Ngāi Tahu e kore e taea te kaute.
