The descendants of Benjamin Boscawen Savage throughout the world are urged to sign this this petition in support of the Wai 2513 Urgent Inquiry by the Waitangi Tribunal into the New Zealand Governments Historic Claims settlement process for lands confiscated in the 1800s, by the then Colonial government of New Zealand. An Urgent inquiry is sought because the New Zealand Government has been using lands and resources that should rightfully benefit the descendants of Benjamin Boscawen Savage to instead settle the grievances of other groups. Sign this petition because securing the lands and forest resources of Benjamin Boscawen Savage should at least ensure that the education of his descendants of all ages, anywhere in the world is fully funded for years to come.

I honestly did not think we would see this kind of momentum so soon and it feels like people are finally waking up to the unfairness of what happened to our ancestors. It is just mind blowing to look at these names and think about all the different places you are all living in while we fight for what is rightfully tied to Benjamin Boscawen Savage. I am still processing the way this has taken off and it keeps me up at night just thinking about the potential to actually secure those resources for the kids in our family.

Aye land confiscations created alot of lost people, the reason i think so many are still lost today. Benjamin Boscawen Savage and Ngatira Kiriwharairo Tangihia are my 3xGreat Grandparents, Arohanui Whanau
I am a direct descendant of Benjamin Boscawen Savage who was my Great Great grandfather through his eldest son John Savage, through his daughter Jane Savage and through her son Robert George Lomas, my father.
Because of our heritage through Tionga tangahia which can be directly traced back to Tama teKapua the captain of the Te Arawa Waka we have traditional tribal Maori chieftain nobility rights on the Bay of Plenty as far as the central plateau .
The land should be handed back to it's rightful owners. It is shameful for a Government to take away a family's land. Let my children and future generations get the benefits of their birth right.
My great great great grandfather.
I will encourage my whanau to sign the petition.
