Ros Cole carries the snipe to their new home on Whenua Hou, watched over by a pouwhenua, Hinekete. Carved by the late Bluff kaumatua Harold Ashwell, Hinekete is a tribute to the Ngāi Tahu women who formed the first settlement on the island in the 1820s, alongside their European sealer husbands. One of those women was Estelle Pera-Leask’s great-great-great-great grandmother. “Many Ngāi Tahu families descend from those women,” she says.
