However the organisation is known as Waikato-Tainui Te Kauhanganui. <br /><br />References to 'Tainui' infers all four tribes are part of this mess and of course they are not. <br /><br />When the 1995 settlement bill was first tabled it was headed up 'Tainui raupatu claims settlement bill'. Hauraki, Maniapoto and Ruakura rightly challenged the name was changed. The final statute is known as the Waikato Raupatu Claims Settlement Act 1995.<br /><br />And oh the internal stresses and strains continue within Waikato Tainui Te Kauhanganui Inc and its committee Te Arataura - TAA. (TAA is not a 'board' as it is not a legal entity. Though for years its members have signed documents, referred to and described themselves as 'directors' and 'board' members). <br /><br />The pretence and manipulation is deep and are the principal stumbling blocks to resolving this impasse.Chris Websterhttp://www.unattachednz.comnoreply@blogger.com
