| | Sir James Henare |
 | | James Clendon Tau Henare, regarded at the time of his death in 1989 as the foremost kaumatua in Taitokerau, was the son of Tau Henare, Member of Parliament for Northern Maori from 1914 to 1938. |
 | | He was a practical and successful farmer and a dedicated family man (supported always by his beloved and superbly capable wife, Rose Lady Henare), a politician who was always also a statesman, a diplomat, a scholar and a man of the people. |
 | | Henare was emphatic that New Zealanders had to become truly bicultural before they could become multicultural, and he was critical of certain Pakeha attitudes and condescension. |
