Pete | Te Awa Kairangi

I want to be part of this because te reo is rich and beautiful, because it carries and imprints the history and cultures of Aotearoa including within the reo names of the landscape, and because I feel the inability to operate in te reo as a kind of disability. Like trying to walk on one leg - you can do it but two legs, even if one is prosthetic, opens up so many more possibilities. Kia kaha te Reo Māori.
