Te Pire mō Ō-Rākau, Te Pae o Maumahara/Ō-Rākau Remembrance Bill

Bills are proposals to make a new law or to change an existing one. Only Parliament can pass a bill. Each bill goes through several stages, giving MPs and the public the chance to have their say.

This bill gives effect to provisions of te Whakaaetanga Whakataunga mō Ō-Rākau, te Pae o Maumahara/the Deed of Agreement relating to the Ō-Rākau site, dated 31 October 2023, to enable the record of title for the site to be held in the names of the ancestors who fought at the battle of Ō-Rākau, and for Maniapoto, Raukawa, and Waikato to jointly have and exercise the rights and obligations of the registered owner of the Ō-Rākau site.
