The Wall Walk

Whaea Power Virtual Gallery

The most widely known Māori women of the 20th century are Te Puea Hērangi and Kiri Te Kanawa. I chose not to profile them in my video or include them in this gallery, hoping instead to highlight Māori women who are less well known beyond their own communities. I hope Te Puea and Kiri would have supported that choice.

When you’ve seen enough of the gallery, click ‘Mark Complete’ and ‘Next Topic’ for more inspiration.
