Raukura Hetet

Raukura Te Aroha "Bubs" Hetet (21 June 1940 – 3 September 1993) was a New Zealander who co-founded the KG Club, New Zealand's first lesbian bar.

Early life and family Hetet was born on 21 June 1940 in Tokaanu to Charles Wilson Pekapeka Hetet and Ririana Te Rewha Smallman. She was of Ngāti Tūwharetoa and Ngāti Maniapoto descent.

Hetet later relocated to Tūrangi, where she continued to work for New Zealand Post, and also purchased a restaurant in Te Kūiti. Hetet was involved in another incident in 1962 where the husband of a woman she was seeing wrote to the New Zealand Post Office (her employer) detailing the relationship and questioning her character. An investigation was launched by the Post Office but was subsequently dropped.
