So many reasons. Te Ao Maori infuses New Zealand and makes us into who we are. We need to support and preserve it for our own identity and well being as well as to redress historical wrongs. Learning Te Reo Maori opens the heart and sharpens the brain, it causes conversations and ensures social change. It also models to our Tamariki and Mokopuna and teaches them so they too will have the benefit of Maori values and tikanga. I believe Aotearoa can be a model for the world on the way forward to combat deadly racism and understand and value diversity, one word at a time.
