It's all too easy to live my life as a Pākeha ignoring Māori language entirely. My friends and family generally have, we feel like it's somehow not 'for' us. But I've recently had my eyes opened - keeping te reo Māori alive is the duty and privilege of ALL New Zealanders! I want to be part of the reason it survives and thrives, not part of the reason it sinks into obscurity.
