I’m learning te reo Māori because our shared Māori and Pākehā history is something to be proud of and something all New Zealanders should celebrate. When my ancestors arrived in Aotearoa in the 1850s they made the effort to learn te reo Māori, to build relationships with Iwi and Hapū, to respect tikanga and work together, Now it’s time for me to step up and rebuild the partnership.
