Parihaka and the Crown – healing the past

The Crown and the Parihaka community have been working together to reconcile their relationship and support Parihaka to achieve its aspirations.

A compact of trust has been developed by the Parihaka community and the Crown. It is intended to set the direction and tone of future relations.

The compact of trust is not part of a Treaty Settlement and acknowledges the devastating historical experiences of Parihaka and the significance of the legacy of Tohu and Te Whiti to New Zealand.
