Te Tiriti o Waitangi is a bridge connecting Te Ao Māori and Te Ao Pākehā. In the words of Kelvin Davis, "Since 1840 who has crossed that bridge? Māori have crossed over, how many have come back the other way?"
Learning and using Te Reo is one part of my responsibility as Tangata Tiriti, and especially as an immigrant - but this a responsibility held by ALL Pākehā in Aotearoa. Kō te reo kia tika, kō te reo kia rere, kō te reo kia Māori.
