Kei te whakatakoto a Whina Cooper i ōna whakaaro mō ngā tāne kua mau hereheretia. Hei tāna, me wetekia ngā here. He hiahia hoki nōna kia whakamāoritia ngā pepa tono, kia mōhio pū te Māori ki ngā pātai. Ko te kaiwhakamaori ā-waha ko Kānara James Paumea Ferris, M.B.E. He wahine mana nui a Whina. I tū ia ki ngā hui katoa, Māori mai, Pākehā mai. Inā hoki te huhua o ngā kaupapa kua tautokona e ia - ngā mahi karakia, ngā mahi hapori, koia hoki te tumuaki tuatahi mō te Rōpū Wāhine Māori Toko i te Ora. Kāti, i matatau ia ki ngā tikanga kaipakihi, me ngā mahi o te pāmu. Nā ana tane ia i awhi, ko Richard Gilbert (Ngāti Wai) tana tāne tuatahi, ā, kō Turakiuta Cooper (Ngāti Kahungunu) tana tāne tuarua. Ko Te Whaea o te Motu tana ingoa karanga, haere ake nei, haere ake nei.
