Land for land
PA Wellington Maori land claims should be settled with land, not cash, a Maori women’s ginger group told a parliamentary select committee yesterday. The Treaty of Waitangi (State Enterprises) Bill should include the principle that there be a duty to return land for land, the Kia Mohio Kia Marama Trust said. "There is an erroneous
belief that some ' [Maori claims can be settjed in cash,” a spokesman, Mr Rob Cooper, said. | “But the spiritual demands of the land are such that we want the principle of land for land included.” The fundamental issue at stake was the "right to share and govern our own land,” he said, and lit was absurd that native people did not govern their own land. | '
