My Dad & Mum always encouraged me to learn more about our Maori culture, food, land and whakapapa. My parents grew up in a generation (like many before them) where they were forbidden to speak Te Reo Maori at school. In their 50's & 60's they went back to school to learn Te Reo proving it is never too late! Today my parents inspire me to learn and as a new Mama, I want to teach my Pepi our next generation the beautiful Taonga that is Te Reo Maori.
