Whina Cooper : ウィキペディア英語版 | Whina Cooper
Dame Whina Cooper (9 December 1895 – 26 March 1994) was a respected kuia (Māori leader), who worked for many years for the rights of her people, and particularly to improve the lot of Māori women. Her wide influence and nationally recognised activity led her to be acknowledged with awards in both the British (Imperial) and New Zealand Royal Honours Systems, and by her own people, who bestowed the title ''Te Whaea o te Motu'' ("Mother of the Nation") upon her. ==Early life== Dame Whina Cooper was born Hohepine Te Wake,〔 〕 daughter of Catholic catechist Heremia Te Wake of the Te Rarawa iwi, at Te Karaka, Hokianga. From an early age she showed an interest in her father’s role, as well as in history and genealogy. She worked as a teacher for a brief time, but stirred on by a local land dispute, developed a taste for a form of home-spun politics, including passive resistance. She played a leading role in community activities, impressing politician Sir Apirana Ngata who invited her to a national hui in 1932. She worked alongside him to promote Māori land development programmes in the Hokianga.
