with my children being Ngati Maniapoto I will be reading all my te reo maori books and study guides I've collected over the years from te Wānanga Aotearoa gaining the knowledge and also speaking it to my children's teachers on the day both at preschool and primary school and continue at home also, it resonates strong with the heritage and being able to pass it on to my children truly means alot to me being pakeha and nz born having the connection is such a treasure

Shan

I do it to gain knowledge and to encourage my sons to learn the heritage from there familys generations before them I hope to better understand from what I do now Its a special language that I wish not to fade away do to the worlds use of technology and to be able to acknowledge what our family's sacrificed for us to be here now and have what we do
