About this listen

We remember Te Whetu Evening Star Walker ( 1946 - 2013) Maori woman of the Te-Aitanga-a-Māhaki tribe and human right advocate.


"Star Walker worked for years as a contractor between major horticultural and viticultural businesses in the region of Tairawhiti and her friends and family. She was rarely, if ever, protected; often she was obliged to pay people in cash directly from her home. She fought for her people, she brought her son home to join her in the fight, and she eventually created a system which within her small world, made a difference.


“He aha te mea nui o te ao, he tangata he tangata he tangata” - What is the most important thing in the world, it is the people, the people.” "


- Nathan Ratapu, her grandson.
