Keeping te reo alive in aotearoa it is the first language and should be treasured! As a Pacific islander I know how important my culture is to me. But sadly my generation dont have access to the reo as we are encouraged to speak more English. As a child I had grandparents who spoke cook island to us so we were privileged to listen to them. Our parents dont speak our tongue to us it's all papaa.
