Following the signing of the Treaty of Waitangi in 1840, the Crown negotiated several largescale purchases of land in Te Waipounamu (the South Island) whereby almost the entire land base of Ngāi Tahu, some 34.5 million acres of land, was sold for £14,750. 1 Ngāi Tahu’s landlessness was the subject of several Crown investigations in the mid-to-late nineteenth century.
