Being both a pākehā and an American living in Aotearoa I think it’s so so important to learn from and respect the tangata whenua. The Māori people have so much wisdom to offer in so many ways, from the way they see the world, to the importance of whakapapa and whānau etc. And there is such a beauty in the culture and language that deserves to be preserved and shared.
