The Maori language is beautiful, it is who we are as New Zealanders. We all need to embrace and use the language where we can. It is important the language remains a living language I have undertaken five years of learning in te reo in the past. and I still feel I’m a beginner. I am proud of my six year old mokopuna who is in a full immersion Maori class at her kura. Our Maori language growing and bring used in everyday contexts is also helping to reduce underlying racism.
