Synopsis

Mana Wahine features five women leaders who have contributed to Māori social, political and economic development.

They are: Māori activist and lawyer Annette Sykes, community worker June Jackson (known by some as the "Queen of South Auckland"), chief negotiator for the Taranaki settlement Hekia Parata, kapa haka leader and performer Taini Morrison, and lawyer Denese Henare.
