Te Reo Māori is important to me because it connects me with my tūpuna, my whakapapa, my whenua. I am more grounded in myself when I embrace Te Ao Māori. It is also important to me because I believe everyone should embrace the beauty of our reo, whether you're Māori or not. So the more I ako the more I can share, and the ako keeps moving. I want my tamariki to grow up in an Āotearoa where Te Reo Māori is a part of their daily life and I have hope that with the way we are moving it will be so. Mauri ora!!
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.

This week I have the privilege of performing for our Kaumatua in Te Pou Theatres "Front Yard Festival". Singing waiata, having a kanikani with kapa haka and speaking Te Reo Māori. So in terms of mahi this week I am in it! But I'm also doing a Te Reo course through Te Wānanga o Raukawa which runs for 10 weeks. I want to organise a Te Reo Māori quiz via zoom with friends and whānau, for Friday night. Mauri ora!
