   In October 2007, the police arrested 18 people from the Maori iwi, Ngai Tuhoe, in Te Urewera. The police said that these people were training in secret for possible terrorist 1 activities like kidnapping. The police had taken secret videos showing these 18 people learning 2 to use guns and other weapons in a military kind of training.


  Most of those 18 were charged with using illegal firearms – guns.
  However, four people were charged with a serious crime of belonging to an organized criminal group. The trial took six weeks. The jury 3 took 19 hours looking at the evidence and finally this afternoon said they could not reach a decision on that main charge. However, the jury found them guilty of some firearms charges. They will be sentenced in May. Meanwhile they are on bail 4 and allowed to go home.
  The police might decide to ask for a re-trial.
  There was a political reason for the activity of these 18 people. They believe that their land in Te Urewera was not part of the Treaty 5 of Waitangi. They were badly treated by the government in the 1860s. Some of the Tuhoe talk of wanting independence from the rest of New Zealand.
  Te Urewera is a National Park in the central North Island and includes Lake Waikaremoana. Most of the land is hilly and covered in forest. The Tuhoe people are a very strong community.
  Listen to September 17th 2011 to hear more about this. (Note that one of those people arrested died some time after 2007.)
