		Whina, being a woman could not of course, speak on the Arawa maraes to give her opinion but when the party was at the station at Rotorua, leaving for home, Sir Apirana asked her opinion.
		Its champion is always Whina, who has fought and won so many battles in the cause of Maori progress; she who from the nikau whare has risen to the most honoured public position for a woman in Maoridom today.

		In the remote New Zealand village of Panguru, tucked into the mountains at the end of a winding gravel road, a Maori woman nearly a century old pauses for a moment as she talks about the moral values of her people.
		"This is God's country!" says Dame Whina Cooper with great feeling, gesturing toward the flowers blooming among the bird songs outside her modest frame house.
		Whina Cooper put hospitality high on her list, recalling that her father said, "If you see any strangers going past, you call them--Kia Ora--that means to call them to come here." Astrid Lindgren put an emphasis on obedience--a quality that runs throughout the life of her most famous character, Pippi Longstocking, though usually in reverse.
