The Hui Booklet says we once had 50,000 acres, and we now have 3% (as per AIP page 43) in Maori title; which is 1,500 acres. So the government must have stolen 48,500 acres, and now they are proposing to give back 8,100 acres; right? So, what we’re actually getting back is 17% of our stolen lands.
The AIP says roughly the same thing but we’re sort of getting back 8,157 acres; the reason I say sort of is because the Government has put various restrictions on what we can do with the land.
