Aotearoa is the place of Māori - since arriving from Fiji in 1981 I have always felt the culture here should be Māori led and the language a natural choice for all. This is my kaupapa and yet I have still not learnt the reo - its time to do it for sure.
I teach film at VUW (it is a well meaning by extremely Paheka institution) and I try to incorporate as much te ao Maori in my course as possible. Having better te reo Māori will help with that.

I work in film and often in Māori and Pacific spaces I am comfortable in my tikanga (with leadership from my Māori colleagues of course) but really want to formalize my learning of te reo Māori and to be able to use it and understand it more.
