Activities

I live in Perth and this week I opened and closed a work hui with a karakia (after the acknowledgment of country to the indigenous peoples of this land) in a room of non Māori folk with open minds and open hearts.

I work in Port Hedland WA and today I opened and closed a workshop with a karakia. I also helped one of my Ozzie workmates correctly pronounce the word Māori as he had seen an old interview of a famous rugby player who said “m-ow-ri” but he genuinely wanted to know the difference between what I was saying and what he commonly heard. E rua e rua only one is pronounced correctly and the other makes me cringe slightly🥴

My house mates and I practiced speaking te reo and replacing phrases we commonly use like would you like a drink, or are you hungry and learning responses. Using post its around the house as well.
