As Pākehā, I believe in practicing te reo because it is a way to honor and acknowledge the tangata whenua. Learning and using reo helps me connect more deeply with the rich history, culture, and values of Aotearoa. It fosters mutual respect and understanding, and contributes to the preservation and revitalisation of a vital part of New Zealand’s heritage. Embracing te reo, is one way I can help to contribute to a more inclusive and unified society.

We held a great week of celebrations for Māori language week at MartinJenkins, with a theme for each day of te wiki! Rāhinia – was a day to whakarongo (listen) and pānui (read) in te reo Māori. Plenty of recommendations were shared. Rātu – was a day to tākaro (play) as we held a Kahoot Quiz and joined Aotearoa in the Māori Language Moment. Rāapa – was a chance to kōrero (speak) as we held some #Mymihi sesssions - a chance to practice introducing yourself in te reo. Rāpare – was a day to waiata (sing) and to practice karakia with those in your mirumiru. We released some beautifully designed karakia by our MJ tamariki. Rāmere – we took the time to get together and ako (learn) some new words, practice what we’d learnt in the week and share our reo journeys. It was an awesome time! Great to celebrate, last wiki, today and everyday!

As a pākeha who's tīpuna hail from Europe, I think it's so important that I learn enough of te reo Māori and tikanga that I can respect and honour the culture of tangata whenua in a meaningful way.

I want to speak te reo fluently.
