Résumé/Citation: | The Act is most notable in that it it confers a legal personality on the Whanganui River. A legal person is an entity that has the same rights and responsibilities as a person hence increasing the legal mechanisms to ensure protection of the river. The purpose of this Act was trifold: (a) to record the acknowledgements and apology given by the Crown to Whanganui Iwi in Ruruku Whakatupua — Te Mana o Te Iwi o Whanganui; and (b) to give effect to the provisions of the deed of settlement that establish Te Pā Auroa nā Te Awa Tupua; and (c) to give effect to the provisions of the deed of settlement that settle the historical claims of Whanganui Iwi as those claims relate to the Whanganui River. |
