Requested Information:

"1. Information and/or proof of heritage sites significant to Taranaki iwi, to the valley [Gollans Valley] in particular.
2. Given these tribes displaced resident tribes about 1817, there is barely 20 years of settlement in the surrounding coastal and wetland areas and verbal history indicates the valley being used as an alternate route to the coast only. How is it that tribes with a mere 20 years of association trump european settlers connections who lived and worked the land full time, some for 50 years.
3. Can you please explain the high level of management involvement iwi have been given with no real historical ties to the valley?"
