Ngāti Tūrangitukua identity and settlement timeline.
AI schematic: hapū affiliation and 1998–1999 settlement milestones; layout/scenery imagined, no territory or portrait claim.
Overview
The community trust describes a settlement addressing Tūrangi township construction and the Tongariro power scheme. The Crown signed the deed in September 1998; legislation followed in 1999. Redress included an apology, land and administrative arrangements, without directly compensating every loss.
The post-settlement trust manages assets for the hapū and maintains the deed. Its account stresses collective work and remembering the grievance across generations. This specific community is not equivalent to all Ngāti Tūwharetoa or Māori.
