Tuhoe iwi representatives will be in Wellington on Tuesday to receive an offer of compensation from the Government.
Waatea News reports the offer is compensation for land confiscated in the 19th century.
Earlier this year, the Waitangi Tribunal found that Tuhoe suffered confiscations and humiliation which needed to be compensated.
Waatea News reports the Government's first offer is expected to be at the lower end of a band between $150 to $170 million.
Activist Tame Iti says the offer is just the first step and he believes the Crown will improve the offer.
He told Waatea News that not very long ago, the Crown thought Tuhoe was absurd to think of sovereignty and self-governance, but the matter is now on the table alongside financial compensation.
Te Kotahi a Tuhoe chairman Tamati Kruger said the offer will be taken back to the people at a series of hui on Tuesday night and on Wednesday.
