If learning the language begins when children are young, those children will speak Māori and the language will be natural to them. As a child, I was not given this opportunity due to many reasons. But I won't allow my unborn child to go without the knowledge of o tātou iwi, ō tātou ahurea, ō tātou reo. In order to do so, I must ako and hold myself accountable to do so.
