An exhibition of Suzanne Aubert artefacts will be on display in the Hastings War Memorial Library during Matariki Celebrations, 11 June – 14 July. As part of the exhibition, Jessie Munro, the author of the award winning book The Story of Suzanne Aubert, will be giving a talk at the Hastings War Memorial Library on Saturday 7th.
Hastings Deputy Mayor and member of the Landmarks Advisory Group Cynthia Bowers says Suzanne Aubert was Hawke’s Bay’s first ‘district nurse’ and studied Rongoa; traditional Maori medicine.
“Mother Aubert was known as ‘The Sister’ to the sick and poor she visited, and ‘Meri’ to her Maori friends,” said Cr Bowers.
