I love te reo as a language and see it is as a taonga we need to keep alive and thriving. It is also our responsibility according to our commitment to Te Tiriti o Waitangi - the sacred agreement between Tangata whenua and the crown/colonisers. I believe that our culture/country will be so much the richer for embracing Te Ao Maori into a way of being for all people who live here.
