“Take care of our children. Take care of what they see. Take care of what they hear. Take care of how they feel, for as the children grow, so does the shape of Aotearoa.”
As Dame Whina recognised how critical it was to take care of our children, so her mokopuna (grandchildren) recognise the importance of sharing her legacy. They tell her stories and share the legacy left by her grandmother, Dame Whina on their website https://www.damewhinacooper.co.nz. You can wear the story by purchasing their fabulous kākahu (clothing) and art available on the website. With your purchases you’ll also be supporting our children as a percentage of sales is shared to Bald Angels.
Irenee Cooper, is a Trustee with Bald Angels, and we are honoured to be able to share the legacies of Dame Whina, often called the ‘Mother of our nation’.
