414	Te Whanau o Waipareira Report Claim Wai 414 was lodged in January 1994 by Haki Wihongi on behalf of himself and the Te Whanau o Waipareira Trust, of which he was the chairperson. This trust had been established by Te Whanau o Waipareira, a non-tribal Māori community based in West Auckland, in order to provide effective social services and to lead the community's efforts to help itself. The claim alleged that the Crown, through the Community Funding Agency of the Department of Social Welfare, had failed to recognise the special status of Te Whanau o Waipareira as a Māori organisation and had failed to properly consult and deal with it in accordance with the Crown's obligations under article 2 of the Treaty of Waitangi.

674	Kaipara Report The report covers 14 individual claims stretching from Dargaville down the West Coast to Muriwai, and from Mangawhai on the East Coast to Riverhead on the Waitemata harbour. The Tribunal concluded that claimants were prejudiced by numerous breaches around these issues and that several breaches to articles 2 and 3 of the Treaty of Waitangi had occurred. The Tribunal finds that the Ngati Whatua o Kaipara claim (Wai 312), and four other southern Kaipara claims, are well founded. This report also contains a minority opinion from one of the Kaipara Tribunal members, Dr Michael Bassett. Download as pdf >>
686	Hauraki Report The report covers 56 claims covering the southern part of Tikapa Moana, the Hauraki Gulf and its islands, the Coromandel Peninsula and the lower Waihou and Piako Valleys. The report relates to the process of colonisation under the British Crown, the extraction of the resources from the region (notably gold and kauri) and the purchase, mainly by the Crown, of all land in the inquiry district except 2.6 per cent remaining in Māori ownership.

728	The Hauraki Gulf Marine Park Act Report This claim was separated from the large group of Hauraki claims because it dealt with the contemporary issue of the management of the Hauraki Gulf rather than with the historical grievances of the Hauraki people. The claimants believed that the Crown had established a management regime under the Hauraki Gulf Marine Park Act 2000 that was inconsistent with its duties of active protection of their rangatiratanga and kaitiakitanga. They asserted that their claims to customary title and rights in the foreshore and seabed were prejudiced by this Act. Read report summary >> Read full report >> Download as pdf >>
1362	Tāmaki Makaurau Settlement Process The Waitangi Tribunal releases its report on the Tāmaki Makaurau Settlement process. This report follows an urgent inquiry into claims that six different groups were adversely affected both by the process and proposed outcome of the Treaty settlement negotiations between Ngāti Whātua o Ōrākei and the Crown.
