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. Olivia interviews Dr. Gina Colvin. Guest Gina Colvin is New Zealand Māori of Ngāti Porou and Ngā Puhi descent. She is an adjunct research fellow at the University of Canterbury in Christchurch, New Zealand. Colvin is the co-editor of Decolonizing Mormononism [University of Utah Press] and writes about the intersections of race, gender, culture and religion. Colvin is also the host of A Thoughtful Faith Podcast and she blogs at Patheos. Music provided by the talented students of Te Kura Kaupapa Māori o Hoani Waititi Marae: “He Tatai Tangata” written by Metotagivale Schmidt-Peke and performed by Taniwha, and “Iwi Taketake” written and performed by Taniwha (Metotagivale Schmidt-Peke, Javan Rivers-Hall and Scarlett Manners Te Pania).
