SKULDUGGERY? – YOU BE THE JUDGE
Syd Cormack, a well known South Island kaumatua and genealogist, was asked by the Ngati Tahu Trust Board for all the records he had built up over the years so they could use them in their claim to the Waitangi Tribunal. As Syd states 'that's one of the things I shouldn't have done". The Trust board took away a 'full carload' of Syd's papers and records but only returned four boxes. Nearly all the records had/have been 'lost' by the Tribunal or Ngai Tahu.
The mind boggles when one wonders what these part maoris are getting up to behind the scenes.
