Did the Crown operate within normal policy?

Was it right to use the WMTB register?

Summary
The settlement is about the Restoration of Mana, addressing the consequences of raupatu, and creating a better future for whanau, hapu and our Iwi.
We are progressing towards an inclusive Deed of Settlement by
Involving whanau in working groups
Involving whanau in workshops and hui
Involving whanau in research and the mihi marino process
We are confident the Mandate Inquiry will recognise the desire of the Iwi to continue the settlement process
