It is difficult for us to express our sincerest thanks to you for your great efforts in producing the images of our ancestors and elders who have departed from this world. Some of us saw these people when they were alive, others were not so fortunate. You have portrayed their images and they are so lifelike, and we lament them. Oh my elders, greetings and salutations to you all. 
      Jo Draper     
      Ramaera Houtaewa  Te Kao Parenga  My elders I greet you all. Although you have departed from us - your images remain so that all your descendants can acknowledge you all. My acknowledgements to the artist. 
      Meri Riapo  Houhora Parenga

      Tiaki Rewiri Parera  Whakatane  Greetings to my elders. The spirits of the noble Māori that have now departed this world. For the people that follow, and for this country.

    To answer John Anstis'comment - Lindauer painted hundreds of works and this website is limited to those in public collections. Unfortunately these two portraits are not part of the holdings of art museums that have contributed so far.
