Dame Whina Cooper (1895 – 1994) was a respected kuia (Māori elder), who worked for many years for the rights of her people, and particularly to improve the lot of Māori women. In one famous example, as an 80-year old she led 5,000 Māori land protest marchers as they walked from Te Hāpua (in the far north) to Parliament. Her wide influence and nationally recognized activity led her to be acknowledged with awards in both the British (Imperial) and New Zealand Royal Honours Systems, and by her own people, who bestowed the title Te Whaea o te Motu (“Mother of the Nation”) upon her.

Womanica, hosted by award-winning journalist Jenny Kaplan, tells the stories of women you may or may not know — but definitely should.  The Indigenous Women Series features the biographies of remarkable Indigenous woman from history. From Maria Tallchief to Wilma Mankiller, these women all made lasting contributions to their fields and communities.

Ecuadorian civil rights pioneer Dolores Cacuango (1881-1971), also known as Mamá Doloreyuk, spent decades fighting fiercely for the rights of the country’s Indigenous people, with a particular focus on land rights and women’s rights. Cacuango was a dedicated advocate for accessible education and instrumental in establishing Ecuador’s first bilingual schools, which practiced in Spanish and the Indigenous language of Quichua. She founded the Federación Ecuatoriana de Indios (FEI) in 1944 with the help of Ecuador’s Communist Party.

For most of her life, Neets’aii Gwich’in leader Sarah James has worked to protect her homelands, which include the coastal plain of the nearby Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. It hasn’t been easy. The United States government wants to lease the area for oil exploration and drilling. The region’s longtime inhabitants say those plans threaten a beloved porcupine caribou population and land that they call sacred. Reporter Daysha Eaton reports for KALW’s series, Sacred Steps, hosted by Judy Silber. Visit spiritualedge.org to read the rest of this story.

Sacred Steps offers profiles about standout people who are challenging the status quo. They’re from all kinds of faith traditions — and sometimes none at all. They’re speaking up. Taking risks. And at times, putting their lives on the line. You’ll hear lots of insights from people who are working to make their communities, and the world, a better place. Join us for reality with a dash of hope.

Sacred Steps is a collaboration between The Spiritual Edge at KALW Public Radio in San Francisco and USC’s Center for Religion and Civic Culture. Daysha Eaton reported the story. Cheryl Devall is the Sacred Steps editor. Tarek Fouda is the engineer. Judy Silber is the host and executive producer.
