Description:
Meet Dame Whina Cooper, the kuia who championed Maori rights, women's rights and led a famous hikoi for positive change - te reo Maori edition of Mother of the Nation, translated by Stacey Morrison.




A Maori-language, illustrated true story for children about Dame Whina Cooper, one of Aotearoa New Zealand's most exceptional leaders- a courageous and outspoken wahine toa whose legacy lives on today.




TERA TE PO, KA MOEMOEA A WHINA KEI RUNGA POTI IA, E HAUKUME ANA I TETAHI TAMAITI I TE MOANA. KO TANA WHAKAMARAMA I TERA, KO TE POTI TANA HAERENGA I TE AO, KO TAUA TAMAITI TE ANAMATA O NGA TAMARIKI KATOA . . .




Ka tamaiti tonu ana a Whina, i marama ke tana matua he kaitataki tuturu a Whina.


I a ia e 18 tau ana, ka whakarite i tana porotehi tuatahi, hei tiaki i te whenua o te iwi.


I a ia e 56 tau ana, ka awhina ki te whakatu i Te Ropu Wahine Maori Toko i te Ora.


Nawai ra, i a ia e 79 tau ana, he inati tana hikoi i te 1000 kiromita ki te Paremata, hei tuku i te korero-


Kia kaua e riro ko te Kotahi Eka Ano o te Whenua Maori.




Ko tenei te korero pono mo tetahi tino wahine toa - ko tetahi o nga tino kaiarahi o Aotearoa, nana te takimano o nga Maori me nga Pakeha i whakakotahi ki te whakatika i nga he, nona hoki te mana me te manawanui e whakaoho tonu nei i a tatou i enei ra.




Also available in English as Mother of the Nation- Whina Cooper and the Long Walk for Justice.
