I am Pakiha, and a Father and grandad , my children and grand children are all Maori on their mums side of the Family.
My oldest son over the past 5 years has taken up te reo Maori studies, and ive noticed a real change in him.
Before he did so he seemed lost in a Pakiha society,
and since he started his new path, he is a very content human being.
Ive watched his progress, and i support him in every way i can, i know some words and phrases that i learned while we were a married couple, and have hung onto that little.
Im keen to learn more now im retired.
so i can support my sons journey,
