Te reo Māori is the indigenous language of Aotearoa New Zealand and as such should be part of our every day vocabulary. This has become a passion of mine since I found out my iwi connections, now as a proud Pakeha/Maori married to a Maori/Niuean/Pakeha with a Māori daughter I am determined to know both of my cultures and be comfortable conversing in both "worlds". This is a practical way of standing up and being counted as a proud (although very much a beginner) te reo Māori speaker.
