Woman leader gave such speech in New Zealand Parliament, video going viral

The video of a powerful speech by an MP in New Zealand is going viral on social media. The name of the MP whose video is in this is Hana Rawiti Maipi Clark. Hana is just 21 years old and is the youngest MP of New Zealand in 170 years. In a powerful speech, 21-year-old Māori Clarke made a promise to her voters: “I will die for you, but I will live for you.” He dedicated his speech to all tamariki Māori. I really feel as if I have already said my maiden speech outside the steps of Parliament at the 50th anniversary of Te Petihana last year.

“I dedicated that speech to my grandparents,” Mypee-Clark said. However, today’s speech is dedicated to all our children. The 21-year-old is Aotearoa’s youngest MP since 1853. She was elected to the New Zealand Parliament in October last year after defeating Nanaia Mahuta, who had held the seat since its creation in 2008 and has been an MP since 1996, according to New Zealand. She said in her speech that for the tamariki Māori who have sat in the back of their classrooms all their lives, whakama, have been waiting for generations to learn their mother tongue, for the tamariki who have not yet gone to their pepaha, this open Waiting for you with open arms.

Hana is from Huntly, a small town between Auckland and Hamilton. She runs a Māori community garden. She teaches children about gardening according to the community’s lunar calendar. Hana does not see herself as a leader, but as a guardian of the Māori language.
