Summary

Tarenorerer was a Plairherehillerplue, of the north tribe. As a teenager, she was abducted by Aboriginal men and sold to sealers living on the Bass Strait Islands. She had returned to mainland Tasmania by 1830, where she led a small group of Aborigines comprised largely of men. Her warrior mob was greatly feared by Aborigines and whites alike.
