Margaret Hendrie (née Griffith, 1935–1990) was a writer from the Oceanian nation of Nauru. Hendrie wrote the Nauruan language lyrics for " Nauru Bwiema", the country's national anthem. [1] In preparation for the country's independence ceremonies celebrated in 1968, Hendrie's lyrics were adapted to music composed by the Australian musician Laurence Henry Hicks. [1]
