E āku mokopuna, te reo Māori is the heartbeat of our whakapapa. I speak it not just for today, but to echo through your future. My hope is that in 2075, te reo is woven into every corner of Aotearoa - spoken proudly, lived daily, and cherished deeply. May you carry it with mana, shaping a nation that honours its roots and walks confidently in both worlds. Therefore, cpntinue to recite your pepeha, sing your waiata, speak your truth. Live life and be happy. Let te reo be your compass, your korowai, your legacy. Ko te reo te mauri o te mana Māori.
