Mania | Maori Languge Moment 2021

Teenaa koe whaanau,

Te reo Maaori is in all of us and it is what connects us to our whakapapa, people and culture. We must continue to embrace and learn our gift as well as helping to lift those around us.

I am proud to be Maaori, dedicated to learning our way and I am in Melbourne, Australia but born and raised in Aotearoa.

Kia ora taatou

Ko Tainui te waka

Ko Waikato te awa

Ko Taupiri te maunga

Ko Ngaati Mahuta tooku hapuu

Ko Tuurangawaewae tooku marae

Ko Waikato te iwi

Ko Herangi tooku whaanau

Ko Mania Herangi tooku ingoa
