How Waiwhetu Māori lost their land
You have probably driven passed it many times but do you know the truth about the Waiwhetu Marae. The land around the marae was taken by the crown in 1939 in dubious circumstances.
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.
