It's important to learn Māori for me, I'm getting older and have little knowledge of the Reo. It's very important, the recognition of the Rangatahi of Aotearoa to have the Reo in all schools and to teach our history to all children, so when they grow up they have an insight of what really happened to our people. It is important they are able to see what happened in the coming of the Pakeha to our Whenua, the wars and all injustices that have and are still being inflicted on our people. With the teaching of the Reo and the correct teachings of our History, only then the young Pakeha will have a better insight to what happened to us and why our People are dominant in jail and are benefit dependent . The old Pakeha will die ...Ana.. , their children we must teach with kindness and most of all honesty. With this insight we have a good chance of a prosperous life together.
Kia Kaha Te Hikoi O Te Reo Maori
