Why Maori is important

Why Maori is important

Maori is important to me because I love learning about how they used to live and how the culture is so different from the life we live in now. Also the spiritual side to it is unbelievable, and the haka and waiata are beautiful pieces of music and dance, it is very easy to learn too. I also think its important because it helps you in the future for future jobs and opportunities. The te reo side of Maori is difficult but it is very fun and easy once you have studied it and then you can have full on conversations with other people who speak it. Overall it is an amazing language and culture and a great experience too.
