Dame Whina Cooper

Te Rārawa leader and woman of mana, Dame Whina Cooper spent her whole life fighting for Māori land rights. As a 79-year old she led Māori land protest marchers as they walked from Te Hāpua (in the far north) to Parliament, arriving on 13 October 1975.

Remember and continue her legacy by honouring what she stood for with one of our beautiful woven whakaahua.
