Carver Thomas Heberley, around 1932

E whakaatu ana a Thomas Heberley o Te Āti Awa i tētahi tira kura wāhine ki tōna ‘tini hēte’ ki te Whare Taonga o Aotearoa ki te Huarahi o Hirini ki Te Whanganui-a-Tara. Ko Heberley te kaimahi tuatahi o te whare taonga, ā, he tapitapi i ngā taonga Māori tāna mahi. I mahi tahi hoki te hunga kaiwhakairo, kaitā, kairaranga hoki i tōna taha. He wāhi mīharo te hēte ki te hunga tūruhi, ā, he mea kaingākau hoki ki te tūmatanui o Te Whanganui-a-Tara.
