Aratohu mo nga Ropu Kaitono
Guide for Claimants Negotiating Treaty Settlements

Te Aratohu has been prepared specifically to support claimant leaders and negotiators who are yet to initiate negotiations with the Crown on Treaty settlements or who are currently in negotiations with the Office of Treaty Settlements. 

Te Aratohu covers the whole process of settlement negotiations from early preparation for settlement negotiations through to the signing of a Deed of Settlement and the subsequent transfer settlement assets.  Its purpose is to minimise the cost and delays to claimants of going over old ground as well as reducing the need for dependence and reliance on others during the various phases of the Crown settlement negotiations process.

Te Aratohu was written by professionals in the Treaty sector and claimants with settlement negotiation experience.  Many others have contributed by way of peer review of its content and the production and publication of te Aratohu.  Their collective contributions have been invaluable resulting in high quality publication.
