It is 1950. You have been asked to put together a booklet called 'This is
your life ... Princess Te Puea'.
Present the booklet showing the order of her life.
Follow through Te Puea's life with people who were influenced by her ideas
and actions (obviously many died before she did and were not alive in 1950
which is when this imaginary "This is your life" is for, but use
your imagination and pretend they were alive).
Her life can be divided into segments
- Childhood 1883 - 1898
- The rebel years 1989 - 1910
- Life at Mangatawhiri 1910 - 1921

- World War Two onwards 1939 - 1952
Choose one person from each segment of her life.
Write a speech (as a person's comment -
see examples) based on what
they may have said about her ideas and actions at the time.

- Mahuta (he could be used under 'childhood' and 'the rebel years')
