"What special words mean in this law"

When you read this part of the law, you need to know what some words mean. An area of interest is the place that iwi and hapū consider their traditional area. You can find more information about an initiating iwi authority in section 58O(1).

You also need to know what iwi participation legislation means. It refers to laws, including those listed in Schedule 3 of the Treaty of Waitangi Act 1975, that give iwi or hapū a role in certain processes. A Mana Whakahono a Rohe is an agreement between iwi and the government about how they will work together.

When you hear the term participating authorities, it means what is explained in section 58O(5). Participating iwi authorities are the iwi groups that have agreed to work together and decided how they will negotiate. A relevant iwi authority is an iwi group whose area overlaps with or is next to another iwi group's area.

A relevant local authority is a local council whose area overlaps with or is next to the area of an iwi group. You can find more information about these terms in this part of the law.
