I personally love learning te reo Māori because it’s like stepping into my tipuna’s world, how they connect, how they understood eachother, how they treated and love the whenua, how they loved, how they connected to the environment in all ways ❤️ Te reo Māori takes me to that place, I love it, it makes my soul happy, I feel my tipuna and I love every single moment of it. I couldn’t imagine life without, my life has changed for the better since learning, I lead with aroha now more than I ever did. . for me that’s being Māori 😊
