I am a kiwi, I was born and bred here in Aotearoa. I am not of Māori descent, however as a member of this community I consider it a privilege to learn the language of this land. I am a Cook Islander, if I went to the Cooks and people were speaking English instead of our native tongue our culture would die, and it is at risk now. I love the privilege of being tauiwi to this land, and believe that I can play my part by learning the language of this land and encouraging all NZers to participate. We will learn French and German in schools but not Māori? C'mon kiwis lesssgoooo, the haka is not enough - it envokes pride in us all, I believe the language will too.
