For the wā tuku reo Māori, I went live on TikTok for the 30 mins from 12pm - 12. 30pm. During this time, I only spoke Te Reo Māori to the people who joined the live. I wrote an apology to those who didn't understand what I was saying. And I had 8 people on the live who wrote back to me in the chat in Te Reo Māori. Then I finished the live with a waiata. Here is a small clip toward the end of the live.

A small group of locals in the Whakatipu region of Queenstown wanted to connect for the Māori Moment. We got together via Zoom to do a karakia, then a hīmene (He Hōnore), then quick rendition of the waiata Mā is white, then finally we sang the waiata Purea Nei. The video cut short before we finished with the karakia Kia Tau.
