The growing use of te Reo Maori throughout Aotearoa is so, so welcome. Hard fought for. Nearly lost, but now becoming embedded again in daily life. I have huge respect for our kuia and kaumātua who never gave up and who have brought us to this place. https://www. rnz. co. nz/news/te-manu-korihi/474655/remembering-the-maori-language-petition-and-the-revival-of-te-reo-maori

I celebrate Te Wiki o te Reo Māori by being open to new learning. By being a voice against 'FB post comment' casual and overt racism. By using Reo as a daily habit with my children. By telling everyone that every week is Te Wiki o te Reo Māori. By seeing a future where there isn't such resistance from the dinosaurs to Te Reo being a seamless part of our shared national culture.

This is an audio recording of Maia Martin Elwell (aged 9) and myself Sarah Hoskyns (music therapist and VUW lecturer) singing and playing Tai Aroha. I have been learning and sharing waiata with Maia when I baby sit over the years and we sing them when she is in the bath. We practised it and recorded it last night as Maia is a school today. I challenged my Master of Music therapy teaching group at Victoria University to learn and share a new waiata this week, and I thought I had better do so too. Maia is a lovely tuakana! Thank you! This is such great mahi.
