Summary: Te Puea Herangi was one of the most important and influential Maori leaders of the 20th century. Born into the family of the Maori King, she was a tireless activist for her people. Her work to assure economic prosperity in the Waikato region, her fierce battles for justice for Maori communities harmed by illegal land seizures, and her passionate dedication to Maori cultural revival assure that she will long be remembered as a critical voice in New Zealand history. Dr. Gina Colvin of the University of Canterbury in Christchurch, New Zealand is our guest. Music by the students of Te Roopu Kapa Haka o Te Kura Kaupapa Māori o Hoani Waititi Marae.
