I am a Niuean born in Aotearoa and I feel so connected to the people, to the land, the love and the waiatas, the language of the Maori. I have two beautiful Ngapuhi daughters so my connection for me is deeper still. I am awakening to my own language of Vagahau Niue and culture and it only feels natural that I do the same with Te Reo and add to my knowledge of the Maori culture and Pasifika People as a whole. I am grateful to you all who helped this joining in Te Reo come about because this morning watching Jenny May dancing to Pere's singing an Earth Wind & Fire song called September, man my spirit just soared and I got up and danced along with them & felt mana in me and I just love that so much. Faaka ua lahi.
