Indigenous Peoples and the Law: Article: Public Access New Zealand Challenges Mt Hikurangi Freeho (556 words) |
 | In 1990 the then Minister of Conservation made application to the Maori Land Court for the vesting of the ownership of 3780 hectares of the Park in Ngati Porou subject to a conservation covenant and the establishment of a public walkway. |
| Government cannot reclaim ownership of the mountain if Ngati Porou breaches the agreement, however Ngati Porou can terminate the conservation and public access provisions while retaining ownership of the land if they believe Government to be in 'material failure' of the agreement. |
| Ngati Porou has not lodged any claim over the area. |

| In March $2 million in cash was transferred to the Porou Ariki Trust, the mandated iwi organisation for Ngati Porou, while over $33 million-worth of shares and quota went to Ngati Porou Seafoods Ltd, the Ngati Porou asset holding company. |
| Ngati Porou was the first iwi to invite the commission to this type of celebratory event and that was why so many commissioners and staff attended. |
| All Ngati Porou Marae, taura here groups and organisations were sent invitations, along with the secondary schools on the Coast. |
