Title: Ngati Kahu Portrait of a Sovereign Nation
Author: MUTU MARGARET ET AL

This book describes the iwi of Ngati Kahu through the traditions and histories of each of the sixteen hap, told by kuia and kaumtua and kept alive for future generations. These include histories of poverty, deprivation and marginalisation at the hands of the Crown, and loss of lands of the iwi. The book examines the range of techniques used by the Crown to justify its actions and the way these laid the groundwork for continuing injustices. The remedies needed to redress these injustices and achieve reconciliation of Ngati Kahu and the Crown are set out. These include constitutional change to achieve the restoration of political, social and economic well-being to Ngati Kahu, Crown relinquishment of all Ngati Kahu lands to their rightful owners and payment of sufficient compensation to ensure no further Treaty of Waitangi claims. This history of Ngati Kahu details the range of Crown actions against Ngati Kahu to the current day, the effects of these actions on the people of Ngati Kahu and the concerted and continuing efforts by Ngati Kahu for remedies and reconciliation with the Crown.
