Waitangi Tribunal webpages launched

Our Waitangi Tribunal webpages provide crucial information to Māori engaging with the Tribunal’s inquiry processes. They increase transparency and accessibility.

Key features of the Waitangi Tribunal webpages

The webpages provide an overview of the Waitangi Tribunal programme and the Wai 2358 Freshwater and Geothermal Resources Inquiry.

There is also a funding webpage where claimants can find detailed guidance on how to apply for funding. The claimant funding page explains the purpose, eligibility criteria, and how MfE support claimants to participate in Tribunal events.

Importance of funding Waitangi Tribunal claimants

The Waitangi Tribunal plays a critical role in addressing historical and contemporary Tiriti o Waitangi grievances. Funding claimants to participate in Tribunal inquiries has been recognised by the Tribunal and the Crown as essential for claimants to access justice and actively engage in the inquiry process.

For more information on the Waitangi Tribunal, the Wai 2358 inquiry and claimant funding see our Waitangi Tribunal webpages.
