What does te reo Māori mean to you?
Māori should be everywhere; it is the official language of our land. My partner is Māori and I hope in 50 years we can speak it together and our children and my friends children can speak Reo together, and it be normal. It should be normal, and I hate that it isn't.
Write a message to your future self – or to your mokopuna in 2075.
I hope you are loud, proud, and happy. I hope the issues of our country's history does not affect you. If I could do one thing in this life it would be to ensure your life and rights are not only acknowledged but celebrated.
What is your hope for te reo Māori? What do you want to see for te reo in 2075?
NORMALISED!! I want to be proud of our country and this year, it has been embarrassing to be pakeha in this country. This government is not what I had hoped for, but this should not be an issue in the big 75. (If I have anything to say about it). I believe in the young people and the people who know what we truly stand for. I WANT FAIR GOVERNANCE AND RIGHTS FOR ALL. I hope you are happier. Ngā Mihi.
