(IV) recognition: land-restitution to maori
“We came into politics to address injustice and seek reconciliation. Thank you for walking that road with us on this historic day,” said New Zealand Prime Minister Helen Clark on the occasion of the government’s signing a historic land deal with the Maori. The ownership of nine forests in the central North Island – some 435.000 acres – are being transferred to the Maori.
