From Afternoons, 1:15 pm on 6 August 2024

A two-day symposium is celebrating 10 years since the signing of the Ruruku Whakatupua - The Whanganui Deed of Settlement has just wrapped up in Whanganui. 

Gerrard Albert had a lead role in the Treaty Settlement negotiations and discusses the landmark legal settlement and how it's changed the fortunes of the river and the land.
