As a young New Zealander I truly think Te reo Maori is a big part of New Zealand, because without Te reo what will New Zealand be? We would of all been colonized by the British and te reo maori would have been forgotten. Even though I may not be maori that doesn't mean I can't represent or take part in something so big for New Zealand. I once heard someone say Te reo maori brings the iwi in kiwi. I decided to take part in Te wiki o te reo because I didn't want my countries culture to be lost and forgotten. Thank you
