Im maori but have never had the chance to learn correctly. Feel confident in myself when being greeted by other maori members. But to be able to learn without being criticized by other non maori. I grew up in the 70s in a pakeha area with prejudice against maori. So the last 2 years i have really wanted to learn. Know who i am...i am maori and proud. And i want to learn even at 53yrs.
