I wanted to learn Te Reo and Tikanga Māori so I can understand more about Māoti and pay my respect to the founders of Aotearoa and the first language of the country I was born in.
The more I learn, the more I want to know. I wish I hadn't taken 50 years to get here but realise I was fortunate to have Te Reo Māori at primary school and to intermediate level in the 70's and early 80's.
