Aotearoa New Zealand is my new home, and I am passionate about celebrating and sharing our cultural diversity. I speak 3 languages from my country, and although finding it a challenge to learn Te Reo Maori, perhaps due to age and it being so different to the languages I speak, I aim to learn what I can! 

Individual profile pages show some of the contributions you make to the Māori language movement. You can make your own profile page and share your Māori language journey.

Activities

I attended a fun and educational Te Ao Maori and Te Reo Maori awareness workshop led by Renee Kokiri of Top of the South neighborhood support. We learnt some basics with the main focus on Karakia and Mihi.

Kia Ora koutou katoa I hosted a programme in honour of Te Wiki O Te Reo Maori on Freshfm. net, a community access radio station in the Top of the South. The programme is called Kiwi NikNaks and is about sharing and celebrating our cultural diversity in our region. https://accessmedia. nz/Player. aspx?eid=e3105325-1277-4b21-a1a0-b9462007f2d6 This particular programme includes some language sharing, my pepeha and music about Aotearoa. In the preceding month, during our 2nd nationwide lockdown, I interviewed children from China, South Africa and England, two of whom did their pepeha. https://accessmedia. nz/Player. aspx?eid=2ddac6ba-308d-4cb8-be26-00bf5040d665 I also regularly include Te Reo Maori greetings and also music. I hope you will enjoy and I look forward to any feedback I can learn from! Nga mihi Lindsay
