jun 6, 1991 - Waitangi Tribunal finds that the 30,000 acres conferred by Lord Stanley was a confiscation

Description:

The tribunal found that Lord Stanley's award of 30,000 acres to the French was, in
effect, a confiscation of Ngai Tahu land. The Crown's unilateral act in arbitrarily
depriving Ngai Tahu of their rangatiratanga over the 30,000 acres, and in taking the
land without consultation or ensuring that it was paid for, constituted a grave breach
of the Treaty. Despite repeated efforts by Ngai Tahu no relief or remedy has ever been
granted to them.
