About Hera Henare

Just over a hundred years ago our tupuna Hera Henare (nee Subritzky) passed away from the flu during the Influenza epidemic while working as a nurse in Takapuna, Auckland. Her tupapaku was brought home on the train in a closed casket back to Motatau. With the instruction that her casket was not to be opened. Unfortunately our people did not adhere to these ture and in their grief they opened her casket. This began the influenza epidemic within Ngati Hine and indeed Te Tai Tokerau. To this day you can still see the many unmarked graves and plots around many kainga and urupa in Ngati Hine. Nanny Hera was the first person interred at our wāhi tapu aptly named Takapuna in Motatau. To my many whanaunga of Ngati Hine, we needn’t look too far to ensure our survival. We have learnt from such an event and must try our hardest to not repeat history. Look after yourselves and each other
