Hine Pirret	Tuwharetoa and Kahungunu	Hastings	I love studying these portraits to gain knowledge of our old people. I too have an ancestor painted by Lindauer whose portrait is not in this collection. His name was 'Matuaahu' and he was the son of 'Te Wharerangi' about whom the haka, Ka mate,ka mate was composed by Te Rauparaha. This portrait hangs in the wharepuni at Otukou marae at the foot of Mount Tongariro just out of Turangi. Matuaahu was my great-great-great grandfather and was exiled to the Maniapoto after his father Te Wharerangi was murdered by another Tuwharetoa sub-tribe believing Te Wharerangi had willingly hidden the very blood guilty Te Rauparaha, who had fled into a kumara pit when he was being pursued by his enemies because he had killed some of their tribesmen while on a continuing war and raiding excursion of the North Island. There should be another exhibition of the unseen Lindauer portraits for the public

Monumental character portrayals by a great artist. I thank our lucky stars Lindauer and Goldie came to our shores. We would have been so much poorer without their legacies.
