WELLINGTON, New Zealand (AP) _ Dame Whina Cooper, a symbol of the modern Maori campaign for social justice and land rights, died Saturday at her home in Panguru. She was 98 years old.
Whina Cooper's birth name is Whina Josephine Te Wake.
The famous march led by Dame Whina Cooper in 1975 is known as the "Hīkoi of 1975." This significant event involved thousands of Māori people walking from Te Hapua in the north of New Zealand to the Parliament in Wellington to protest for Māori land rights and greater recognition of Māori sovereignty. The hīkoi highlighted issues of land loss and the need for justice for Māori communities. It became a pivotal moment in New Zealand's history, raising awareness of Māori issues and rights.
