    17.2.03  Hapeta te Moeroa o Ngatimaniapoto  Utuhina Ohinemutu, Rotorua  I have seen the portraits of elders and chiefs who have now departed this world. I have much affection for them - especially for those I knew when they were living. The Pākehā has done a tremendous job in creating a very good likeness in these portraits. Greetings to you all 
    5.3.03  Tetau Paranihi  Hearse; Taupo Tongariiro  I have come here to see the portraits of our ancestors. They have long since passed this generation. Two or three times I have seen them and thought that these could be their bodies here present in this gallery. Greetings to the person who created my ancestors. Greetings, greetings 
    15/4/03/  Eruera Nekitini  Levin Horowhenua - Otaki  My heart is filled with amazement at seeing the portraits of the ancestors of this country who have separated from us by death. Greetings to be gazed upon by future generations. May the Lord save us.

    17/4/003  Meretini Kipa Te Ahatanui, Heeni Kipa Te Whatanui  Otaki Ngatiraukawa & Ngapuhi  My mother and I have come here to see the portraits of the ancestors of our people, that is of all the tribes. An excellent job has been done by this Pākehā. Well done. You continue with your work, Pākehā, we the Māori do not know how to make these images of our ancestors So greetings to you.

    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.
