As Pākehā, I believe in practicing te reo because it is a way to honor and acknowledge the tangata whenua. Learning and using reo helps me connect more deeply with the rich history, culture, and values of Aotearoa. It fosters mutual respect and understanding, and contributes to the preservation and revitalisation of a vital part of New Zealand’s heritage. Embracing te reo, is one way I can help to contribute to a more inclusive and unified society.
