Our hope for you, our mokopuna, is that you get to live in an Aotearoa proudly known by her own name. A bilingual nation where te reo Māori flows freely.
Guided by the wisdom of our tīpuna, the rhythms of the Maramataka, a place where celebrations like Matariki and festivals like Te Matatini shine brightest.
May your shelves overflow with Māori books, your ears with waiata, your waredrobes with Māori made kākahu and your screens with Māori films — enough to build a Polywood of our own!
And above all, may kaitiakitanga, manaakitanga, rangatiratanga, kotahitanga, and whanaungatanga light your path forward.
Tihei Mauri Ora!
