My first Kura Reo Māori. He rawa kē, he miharo rawa atu.

As part of Te Wiki o Te Reo Māori I spent an afternoon with my cuzzin Tame Iti and mmy nephew Rameka at Tames last art exhibit in Wellington. I liked this particular photo though.

"He ao te rangi ka uhia, a, ma te huruhuru te manu ka rere" "Clouds adorn the heavens, and with feathers a bird can fly" Paramount Chief Tamaterangi of Ngāi Tamaterangi, Kahungūnu. As my ancestor has described, I too will adorn myself with my Tūhoetanga, my Kahungūnutanga and my Ngāti Tokitanga, so that I might fly to the Panekiiretanga o te ao Māori.

Over MS teams our team did a karakia together.

Some of us at the Air Force Museum of New Zealand got together and got our Reo on! We all speak and master the language differently, and at different levels, but we gave it our best and had fun doing so!

Feel free to share) For all NZDF comrades, our DDI team will be taking part in Te Wā Tuku Reo Māori | Māori language moment at 1200 Monday 14 September. Feel free to join our team at attachment (even if you are doing your own thing) or create your own group (or even by yourself). There are many things that define Kiwis and connect us to our home but te reo Māori is unique, lets celebrate and protect this beautiful language
