A single Treaty settlement is being drafted by New Zealand First for the country's largest iwi.
Treaty Negotiations Minister Paul Goldsmith has signalled he's open to settlements with smaller groups - within iwi.
Ngāti Hine leader Pita Tipene says they continue to hold talks with Paul Goldsmith, but not Shane Jones.
"He is the minister, that's who we have conversations with and that's how we want to keep it. We don't want to be talking to the minister - or anybody else for that matter - through the media."
