Profiles are placed in this category with this text [[Category:The Neck, Stewart Island, Southland]] .
This "cemetery" consists of five different burial areas on the small peninsular of the outer southern edge of Paterson Inlet. In times past people did live here in small wooden whares (basic wooden planked cabin homes) with thatched rooves, the latter likely made of flax.
Most burials here are Maori or early foreign Whalers and Sealers who had married into local Maori families, and their descendants, who lived on the Neck.
