I also want to acknowledge Paul Meredith, because the quality of the historical record and the apology that has been set in place in the deed and also in the legislation is by no small measure by his hand. He put off a PhD so that he could contribute back to his iwi and set the record straight—so that needs to be said—also to the negotiating supporting team at the time: Tēpene Wilson, Titahi Tarawa, members of the Maniapoto Māori Trust Board, and at the time the then serving CEO Janise Eketone. Much has been said about the different profiles and make-ups of each chapter of the settlement, but a lot of work had been undertaken prior to the negotiating team being appointed so all they had to do was really pull together the visions and aspirations from the hard work and effort that had already been achieved within the iwi.
