Whakamutunga
You may feel from time to time that the use of the Māori language in this way is simply tokenism. However, it is important to remember that the greater use of the language and increasingly positive attitudes will lay the foundations for the normalisation of the status of the Māori language as an integral part of our cultural landscape.
Every contribution that we make, no matter the size, makes an important contribution to the growth and development of our language.
