I spent the time reading The Raupō Book of Māori Proverbs. My side of the whānau lost Te Reo Māori for 3 generations, I’m bringing it back to my whānau, as well as traditional weaving of Kahu Huruhuru & Kete and studying Te Reo Māori every Wednesday night with Te Reo Kia Rere. Our culture is beautiful, we shouldn’t lose it. When I first started learning, I was scared of learning because I didn’t not bare the skin colour of my ancestors and was scared I’d be judged, but I was welcomed by my Kaiako and fellow students with love, it was the best decision I made. I’m proud I took that step, proud I’m bringing it back to my whānau. Please, if you are like I was and scared about taking that next step, just take the step. Our Reo and our culture will enrich your life with joy and happiness!
