See how Le Va Pasifika, part of the Wise Group whānau, is celebrating and connecting in a meaningful way for Te Wiki o te Reo Māori.
🎼One of the beautiful waiata we practice at Le Va each week is 'Hutia te rito', a song based on a whakataukī or Māori proverb that speaks to valuing people and caring for future generations by preserving the heart of the flax plant. We brought that metaphor to life this week by breaking out our weaving skills and having mindful moments making creations out of actual harakeke, led by our cultural committee and CE Denise. We hope you are finding fun and meaningful ways to connect and celebrate te wiki o te reo Māori at your home, school or workplace. Ake ake ake - kia kaha te reo Māori! Hutia te rito o te harakeke Kei hea te kōmako e kō? Kī mai ki ahau He aha te mea nui? Te mea nui o tēnei ao? Māku e kī atu kia koe He tangata, he tangata, He tangata, hī! If you remove the heart Of the flax bush From where will the Bellbird sing? If you say to me What is the most important thing In this world? I will reply to you It is people, it is people, It is people! #LeVa #tewikiotereomāori
