The government of new zealand reached a settlement with the maori people in 1995. which of the following was not one of that terms that was agreed upon in that settlement? a. the government returned some the land to the maori people. b. the maori people received payment from the government. c. the government of new zealand issued a formal apology to the maori people. d. maori was added as an official language.

The correct answer is - B. The Maori people received payment from the government.

In 1995 the New Zealand government and the Maori representatives reached multiple agreements for some of the injustices done in the past by the new settlers.

It was agreed that some of the land that traditionally belong to the Maori or was a sacred ground for them will be returned to them, there was a formal apology to the Maori for the injustices that they have suffered in the past, as well making the Maori language as an official language in the country. All of that was received with big delight by the Maori, as well as the other people in the country.

It is also worth mentioning that even before 1995, the Maori in general were having very nice relations with the other people in the country, and that they were not marginalized at all, but all the agreements were because of the initial contacts with the new settlers.
