I acknowledge the exhaustive energy put in, and the resolute hearts of the Ngāti Kahungunu negotiating team. Specifically I would like to mention Ron Mark, Ian Perry, Robin Potangaroa, Haami Te Whaiti, Hayden Hape, the negotiators who were well supported by their advisers Rāwiri Smith, Marama Tuuta, and Lee Gray, including their lawyers Jennifer Braithwaite and Mike Colson.
