Treaty settlements

Treaty settlements refer to agreements made to resolve grievances between indigenous peoples and governments, often related to historical injustices, such as land confiscation or cultural loss. In countries like New Zealand, these settlements aim to acknowledge wrongdoings, provide financial compensation, restore land, or offer other benefits to indigenous communities. The goal is to promote healing and reconciliation, allowing for the preservation of cultural identity and supporting economic development within those communities. Treaty settlements are significant steps toward recognizing and honoring the rights and sovereignty of indigenous populations.
