The Ngāi Tahu Sea Fisheries Report 1992
The Ngai Tahu inquiry began with a claim, Wai 27, registered in August 1986. It was brought by Rakiihia Tau and the Ngai Tahu Maori Trust Board. The claim was presented in nine parts, known as the 'Nine Tall Trees of Ngai Tahu'. Eight of these 'trees' represented the different areas of land purchased from Ngai Tahu, whilst the ninth represented Ngai Tahu's mahinga kai, or food resources. The various reports dealing with the Ngai Tahu claims constitute the Tribunal's most exhaustive treatment of an inquiry. The three volumes of the Ngai Tahu Report 1991 total more than 1200 pages, and the Sea Fisheries and Ancillary Claims reports add another 400 pages each to the Tribunal's coverage of the issues.

Rekohu: A Report on Moriori and Ngati Mutunga Claims in the Chatham Islands
The issues considered in the Rekohu Report are unique and complex, and a thorough reading of the entire report is necessary to gain a full understanding of the context of the claims and the ensuing recommendations of the Tribunal. The report looks closely at the period soon after the signing of the Treaty of Waitangi in 1840 and the annexation of Rekohu in 1842. The Tribunal in the Chatham Islands inquiry was also asked to look at a number of contemporary issues including the Tribunal's jurisdiction, the status of Moriori and their right to make claims under the Treaty of Waitangi, health and education, conservation management, fishing, and the ownership of Te Whaanga lagoon.

Te Tau Ihu o te Waka a Maui: Preliminary Report on Te Tau Ihu Customary Rights in the Statutory Ngāi Tahu Takiwā
The Northern South Island (Te Tau Ihu) Tribunal issued a preliminary report concerning the customary rights of six Te Tau Ihu iwi to in the area defined by Te Runanga o Ngāi Tahu Act 1996 as the Ngāi Tahu takiwā. The Tribunal found that the six iwi had valid customary rights in the takiwā, overlapping the acknowledged rights of Ngāi Tahu, and that the Crown had committed multiple historical breaches of the Treaty in acquiring land and resources in which they had an interest. Further, in settling the Treaty claims of Ngāi Tahu the Crown had continued to ignore the overlapping interests of the six iwi. The Tribunal recommended that the Crown negotiate equitable compensation for any loss of interests incurred through the prior settlement with Ngāi Tahu.
