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. TĒRĀ TE PŌ, KA MOEMOEĀ A WHINA KEI RUNGA POTI IA, E HAUKUME ANA I TĒTAHI TAMAITI I TE MOANA. KO TANA WHAKAMĀRAMA I TĒRĀ, KO TE POTI TANA HAERENGA I TE AO, KO TAUA TAMAITI TE ANAMATA O NGĀ TAMARIKI KATOA . . . Ka tamaiti tonu ana a Whina, i marama kē tana matua he kaitataki tūturu a Whina. I a ia e 18 tau ana, ka whakarite i tana porotēhi tuatahi, hei tiaki i te whenua o te iwi. I a ia e 56 tau ana, ka awhina ki te whakatū i Te Ropū Wahine Maori Toko i te Ora. Nawai ra, i a ia e 79 tau ana, he inati tana hīkoi 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 tēnei te korero pono mo tētahi tino wahine toa - ko tētahi o nga tino kaiarahi o Aotearoa, nana te takimano o nga Maori me nga Pakeha i whakakotahi ki te whakatika i nga hē, nona hoki te mana me te manawanui e whakaoho tonu nei i a tatou i ēnei ra. Also available in English as Mother of the Nation- Whina Cooper and the Long Walk for Justice.
