"You and your tupuna have fought for over 170 years to reach this point."
Te Korowai o Ngaruahine Trust chairman Will Edwards said his iwi's colonial history was one of trauma and deprivation at the hands of the Crown.
"Today goes some way towards recognising and redressing that hurt and the wrongs done to our tupuna."
Te Atiawa chairwoman Liana Poutu said the end of the long settlement process was a time to celebrate what had been achieved, in particular the collaboration between the three iwi to reach this point.
Poutu also had strong words for the Crown, referring to recent conflict between iwi and the Government over the Kermadec Ocean Sanctuary.
"We urge the Crown to honour the settlements that have progressed through the House today in the spirit in which they were completed."
The Government has been accused of legislating over a full and final settlement by establishing the marine sanctuary.
Taranaki Iwi Trust chairman Tokatumoana Walden spoke of the challenges of a small iwi negotiating a Treaty settlement, describing it as a "David and Goliath-type setting".
Working alongside two larger iwi had given his iwi "a better chance at doing the best for our people", he said.
Walden also said his iwi had slowed down its settlement process to make sure there was adequate compensation for atrocities committed at Parihaka. The Crown had made progress with compensation in relation to Parihaka, he said. But he was disappointed at delays to a commitment to a national day to commemorate the New Zealand land wars.
On top of the Treaty settlements, the Crown is considering a separate reconciliation package for the Parihaka community.
