In 2010 the Crown and Taranaki Iwi recommenced negotiations to settle the historical Treaty claims of
 Taranaki Iwi.

On settlement, the trustees of the Post-Settlement Governance Entity (PSGE), Te Kāhui o Taranaki Trust, will manage the settlement assets.

The benefits of the settlement will be available to all members of Taranaki Iwi, wherever they live. The redress was negotiated by the Taranaki Iwi Trust.
