The term “Settlement Agreement”, when used within this website, is our definition to describe “Te Tiriti O Waitangi 1840”. It is the terms and conditions on which His Majesty’s subjects are permitted to settle in Nu Tireni, and the agreed upon conditions in exchange.
As far as The Constitutional Order is concerned, the Settlers Agreement is the second Act of State, deriving any authority it has from the first Act of State, the “He Whakaputanga O Nga Rangatira O Nga Hapu O Nu Tireni 1835” – The Proclamation of Sovereignty.
