I am 76 years old, the mātāmua and tuākana of thirteen siblings and with the shortage of kaumātua to sit on the taumata of our marae, I feel right now the need to fullfil my resposibility as the Mātāmua, as the Tuākana and kaumatua to learn te reo me ōna tikanga so that I can give back to our marae and community .
