Whina Cooper is who inspired me for this project. A leader of the New Zealand’s Indigenous Maori People and not only is she an activist for Native Peoples and their rights she also a strong female leader that many can look upon for inspiration. A closer examination will explore the Maori peoples and their struggle, life of a strong female activist, and how historically this individual changed many lives and a culture itself.
