He mihi nui tenei ki a koutou i runga i nga ahuatanga o te wa.
Are You a Descendant?
Background
On 21 November 1997, the Crown and Te Runanga O Ngai Tahu entered into a Deed of Settlement, setting out the terms of the settlement reached to give effect to the claims made by Te Runanga O Ngai Tahu. The major part of the settlement was related to the main claim on behalf of the Ngai 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 Ngai 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 final of three notices to locate the descendants of the original owners in three groups of areas.
