It is important to me to learn Te Reo Māori because I believe that in doing this is pay respect to Tangata Whenua and their indigenous connection to Aotearoa. As a person whose tupuna are diverse and hailing from the Pacific (and afar) I believe that we must all embrace Te Reo Māori in order to stand in solidarity with the indigenous people of Aotearoa.
