The tribunal would like to thank Paul Hamer for photographs used on the site.

The main photograph on the homepage is of Aunty Miriama Tahi, of Ngati Rarua and Ngati Maniapoto descent. The shot was taken during a site visit to Wairau Bar in August 2000, as part of the Northern South Island Inquiry and we thank Aunty Miriama Tahi for permission to use her image.
