I am a Niuean born in Aotearoa and I feel so connected to the people, to the land, the love and the waiatas, the language of the Maori. I have two beautiful Ngapuhi daughters so my connection for me is deeper still. I am awakening to my own language of Vagahau Niue and culture and it only feels natural that I do the same with Te Reo and add to my knowledge of the Maori culture and Pasifika People as a whole.
I am grateful to you all who helped this joining in Te Reo come about because this morning watching Jenny May dancing to Pere's singing an Earth Wind & Fire song called September, man my spirit just soared and I got up and danced along with them & felt mana in me and I just love that so much. Faaka ua lahi.
Share what you did for Te Wiki o te Reo Māori 2026.
This will go on to become a showcase of how we celebrate te reo as a nation.

Kia Ora, I am going to sing along to Stan Walkers new song in Te Reo called "TUA" at the top of my lungs! I found out about this watching Jenny May on TVNZ Breakfast & she asked us to join with the aim of 1 Million of us all joining together at midday today & I am super grateful I did.
