Timeline

1937

Rangikaiamokura Wirihana Hetet (born 18 April 1937) is a Māori master carver (tohunga whakairo) of Ngāti Tuwharetoa and Ngāti Maniapoto descent.

Hetet was born in 1937 to Charles Wilson Hetet and Lillian (née Smallman).

1950

Hetet first rose to recognition in New Zealand as one of the carvers of the meeting house at Waiwhetū in the 1950s, during which he met Erenora Puketapu-Hetet, who become his wife.

His grandmother, Rangimārie Hetet was a renowned weaver from Te Kūiti, who passed her skills on to Erenora Puketapu-Hetet.

Hetet trained in the fraternity of carvers known as Konae Aronui under legendary tohunga whakairo Tuhaka Kapua and later Hōne Taiapa at the New Zealand Māori Arts and Crafts Institute.

He had only two apprentices, including Sam Hauwaho.

As his wife did, Hetet sees his art as having a spiritual dimension:

Hetet's commissions have included a number of meeting houses, four waka taua (war canoes 60+ feet long) and a number of institutional pieces such as the one at LINZ.

1960

He married Erenora Puketapu at Waiwhetu Marae in 1960, and they have four children.

Their daughter Veranoa Hetet is a notable weaver.

1989

One of Hetet's 1989 sesquicentenary canoes was subsequently involved in a legal stoush.

2004

In the 2004 New Year Honours he was appointed an Officer of the New Zealand Order of Merit for services as a Māori master carver.

He is still active and exhibiting in venues such as the Māori Art Market.
