My son Koroniria Ngarimu and I went to Rewanui Early Learning Centre in Tūranga-nui-a-Kiwa (where I work and he attends) to participate in the te reo Māori moment for te wiki o te reo Māori. At 12pm a group of tamariki and kaiako sung Tutira mai nga iwi. It was empowering knowing that we were part of this moment in time where 1 million + people in Aotearoa were sharing in something that means so much to us all. Here is Koroniria doing his haka moves in front of our kapa haka waiata we are learning for the Tūranganui cultural festival in November. Kia kaha te reo Māori.
