My why is the mere fact that our tupuna fought to save our culture after colonization. My Nana was a part of the Kohanga Reo movement, and I was one of the first tamariki to come through Te Kauhanga Kohanga Reo back in 1985. So, after my Nana passed away, I always had her drive to continue on her legacy and whakakaha tātou katoa ki te korero, ki te ako I te reo Māori.
