Ngāi Tahu Claims Settlement Act 1998

Notice From Ngāi Tahu Ancillary Claims Trust

He mihi nui tēnei ki a koutou i runga i ngā āhuatanga o te wā.

Are You a Descendant?

On 21 November 1997, the Crown and Te Rūnanga O Ngāi Tahu entered into a Deed of Settlement, setting out the terms of the settlement reached to give effect to the claims made by Te Rūnanga O Ngāi Tahu. The major part of the settlement was related to the main claim on behalf of the Ngāi Tahu iwi. However, minor claims that related to individual hapu or whanau were set aside and responsibility given to a special Trust set up for the purpose to vest these minor claims in the descendants of the original owners of the land or fisheries reserves alienated in some cases over 100 years ago.

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.

What Happens Next?

The Trust has located names and addresses for about 70% of the likely descendants. Letters have been sent to these people. If a relative of yours has received a letter or if you believe your Ngāi Tahu forebears lived or came from any of the above areas, and you have not received a letter, please contact us and we will send you an application for registration. This application will show you the steps necessary to take to establish your claim.

Applications to be included in the provisional list of descendants will close on 31 January 2002.

The Trust will then complete its provisional list and write to everyone on it. At this point, the vesting procedure will be fully explained.
