I just learned of the death of Keith Sorrenson at the age of 93. He was a very good historian and always one of my favourite Waitangi Tribunal members. He served as a Tribunal member for 25 years and made an enormous contribution to its work and thereby also to the nation.

Before Christmas the Waitangi Tribunal Justice System panel and a group of four pou tikanga released a report on past and present Māori perspectives on wrongdoing and conflict, He Huanga. The report includes these photos I took of the wharenui our four wānanga were held in.
