Tēnā koutou. The countdown is on! Looking forward to next week and connecting with all the reo initiatives going on. Especially in regard to acknowledging the mahi of our Tipuna who, without their foresight, knowledge and commitment, we wouldn't have it protected and cherished as the taonga it is today. Many of these Rangatira have passed and it is sad when we reflect on the fact that they are not here to witness the product of their Mahi. I like to think they would be proud. 'Tama tū, Tama ora. Tama noho, Tama mate. ' Nga mihi nunui ki a koutou.
