Subject: FW: Draft email for the Waitangi Tribunal
 
Kia ora Sandra
 
I am the Manager of the Operational Policy and Design team at Te Puni Kōkiri and was given your details from
Maddy (CC’d) as a possible contact at the Waitangi Tribunal regarding noting of the feature narrative for the
Section 8I Report 2021/22. Let me know if I should be approaching someone else in your organisation.
 
Section 8I of the Treaty of Waitangi Act 1975 requires the Minister for Māori Development to present the annual
Section 8i Report. Before the agency updates, we feature a feature presentation section consisting of two parts:
RELEASED 
A feature narrative (which generally focuses on a settlement/Waitangi Tribunal report) and;
A supplementary piece (which generally discusses actions that have occurred within the public sector to
improve responsiveness to Treaty issues and/or improve the Māori-Crown relationship).
OFFICIAL 
 
The Section 8i report is due to be tabled by Minister Jackson in the House in the coming months. Here is a link to
a previous Section 8I Report - The Section 8I Report 2020 (tpk.govt.nz) with the feature presentation at the front.
 
My team is leading the development of the Section 8I Report and we are currently in the drafting stage for this
year’s supplementary piece. One of the kaupapa we are going to discuss in the supplementary piece is an
overview of the kaupapa inquiry process being implemented by the Waitangi Tribunal and progress so far –

Document 15 - Attachment 1
following on from previous Section 8I reports where we have briefly covered this kaupapa.
 
We plan to have a final draft of the feature early next week and wondered if you/your agency would like to
review the final draft before it goes for approval and publishing. If you would like to review the narrative, we
would be happy to provide a copy for you but will need to get any feedback from you within a very tight 24 hours
turn around in order to meet deadlines for the publishing and presenting of the document.
 
I have copied Maddy Lambert into this email as she is the lead for the development of the Section 8I Report for
this year. If you would like to review the drafted supplementary piece for the Section 8I Report, please let her
know, or, if you have pātai.
