Reports of the Native Affairs Committee, 1895

Nos. 453, 1894, 464, 1894, and 46, 1895.—Petitions of Rangihaeata and 69 Others; R. T. Rangihaukori and 2 Others (No. 1); R. T. Rangihaukori and 646 Others (No. 2)

Nos. 453, 1894, 464, 1894, and 46, 1895.—Petitions of Rangihaeata and 69 Others; R. T. Rangihaukori and 2 Others (No. 1); R. T. Rangihaukori and 646 Others (No. 2).

The petitioners complain that they have insufficient land for their occupation. Some of the confiscated land given to the tribe has been leased, but what they desire is some land they can occupy and cultivate.

The matter is so important that the Committee think the Government should at once take steps to inquire into the state of the petitioners, and, if necessary, get powers to allocate some land for their occupation, should it be found that the land they now hold is insufficient for their support.

11th July, 1895.
