AI Summary:
Mount Taranaki Maunga is the latest natural feature to be granted personhood in New Zealand. The pristine, snow-capped dormant volcano is the second highest on New Zealand's North Island. It fulfills an agreement of redress from the country's government to Indigenous people for harms perpetrated against the land since. In 1840, Mori tribes and representatives of the British crown signed the Treaty of Waitangi. In 1865, a vast swathe of Taranaki land, including the mountain, was confiscated. Over the next century hunting and sports groups had a say in the mountain's management. In 2017, New Zealand recognized the Whanganui River as human. The bill recognizing the mountain's personhood was affirmed unanimously by Parliament's 123 lawmakers.
