Content Description: 

"People claiming descent from the ancient Waitaha settlers of the South island are trying to assert themselves after being submerged in later migrations. Ngai Tahu Board's Tipene O'Regan spoke recently about the complexities of Maori claims."

Table of Contents: 

Page 2: Waitaha make their stand - At the core of Mr O'Regan's lecture was his argument that North Island tribal groups that migrated south and eventually united as Ngai Tahu by about 1800, had gained traditional mawawhenua (sovereignty) over most of the South Island by conquest, inermarriage and absorption of earlier settlers.
