Tō Mātou Haerenga i Te Ao Māori | Our Te Ao Māori Journey
At Swamp City we are on a hīkoi to put Te Ao Māori at the forefront of our culture and to support our kaupapa. We acknowledge with respect, Ngā Iwi Māori as Tangata Whenua of Aotearoa, and recognise their continuing connection to land, water and community. We aim to encompass and encourage aspects of Te Ao Māori through Whanaungatanga (sense of family connection), Manaakitanga (the process of showing respect, generosity and care for others) , Kotahitanga (Solidarity/Collective action) and Rangatiratanga (Chieftainship/Leadership).

Tēna koutou derby whānau. This wiki | week is Te Wiki o Te Reo Māori.
To start off the wiki, we thought we would share the reel we created last year!

Because every wiki is Te Wiki o Te Reo Māori at Swamp 🖤🤍❤️
Have a look into a Swamp whakangungu | training, and some of the ways we utilise Te Reo Māori!

This wiki, (and every wiki) feel the fear and kōrero Māori! Try and make a goal to use one kupu or kīwaha a day. Kia kaha Te Reo Māori!💪
Ake, ake, ake. Mō ake tonu te reo!
