Te Ātiawa was never properly compensated and much of the confiscated land was not used for housing.
The seizure of the land at Waiwhetu has been compared to the Crown’s confiscation of land from Ngāti Whātua Ōrākei at Bastion Point in Auckland, as in both cases the land was used for another purpose other than what the Crown stated as the reason for its seizure.
It was also not the first time the Crown took land from Te Ātiawa. A century earlier, the Government sold land around the Wellington region belonging to the iwi, without its knowledge, to British people who planned to settle in Aotearoa.

Its new owner, Eastbourne-based developer Anthony Walton, has big plans for the building which dates back to the 1950s. He wants to create a community hub to breathe new life into the hotel, that once had five bars and five bookmakers.

Walton also owns a renovated hotel in Carterton, the Marquis of Normanby.

What can we learn from his death and selfless actions?
