Overview
The CMS forms part of the cultural redress package known as the Korowai for Enhanced Conservation (‘the Korowai’) that features various co-governance arrangements for public conservation lands and waters in the Treaty Settlements of the four Te Hiku o Te Ika iwi (Te Hiku iwi):
- Ngāti Kuri
- Te Aupōuri
- NgāiTakoto
- Te Rarawa.
Te Aupōuri, NgāiTakoto and Te Rarawa have contributed to the drafting. Ngāti Kuri have not participated directly, but have contributed in other ways.
The CMS applies to an area defined in Treaty Settlements as the Te Korowai area or Te Hiku region, which extends from the Hokianga Harbour and mid-point Rangaunu Harbour northwards to Te Rerenga Wairua including Manawatāwhi (Three Kings Islands).
