Hundreds of Ngāti Kahungunu ki Wairarapa Tāmaki Nui-a-Rua have arrived in Wellington for the final reading of their treaty settlement. 

They packed out a special train from Dannevirke this morning, with stops along the way to pick up whānau. 

It marks the end of thirty years of negotiations for the Wairarapa iwi, but the settlement is not without its controversies. 

RNZ's Māori news director Jamie Tahana spoke to Māni Dunlop.
