When my ancestors arrived from Samoa, Tonga, Tahiti etc., there was no uniformed official waiting to check visas. They were allowed in because of whakapapa - genealogy. That hasn’t changedz Aotearoa has always been a Moana nation - Moana people are our people. We are them and they are us.

Moe mai e te rangatira. Ahakoa kua ngaro koe i te tirohanga kanohi, kei ō mātou ngākau tō reo e tīoriori ana.

Pouri au i te mea hoki, he Māori kei te whakahē. Kei pōhēhē i ētahi ko te kiri parauri te tohu o te Māoritanga.

Peters: Don't use Aotearoa in the House. Seymour: Actually, it's fine Winston Peters clashes with MPs over the use of ‘Aotearoa’ in Parliament, reigniting debate on the country’s name. Coalition partners are divided, and Luxon remains silent.

E kore e taea te karo. Ahakoa ko wai kei te whakahē. Ko Aotearoa te ingoa tuatahi, taketake o te whenua nei.

E te tuahine. E te māreikura. Takoto mai i te aroha o tō iwi. Ko mātou ēnei e mihi, e tangi nei i tō rironga ki te pō. Ko mātou anō ēnei e taunaki ana i te takohanga ōhou ki te reo Māori, ki te waiata, ki te whanaketanga o te iwi. Haere ki ō tīpuna. Moe mai i te rangimārie.

Ka aroha nē? I haere au ki te tangi ki a Angela i a ia e tīraha ana i Te Whanganui ā-Tara. Ko Carol te mea hātekēhi rawa atu - wareware i aua tōna ingoa whakamutunga. Ngā mihi e hika.

Ngā mihi e hoa. Mahara au ki te tū i te whare wānanga o Waikato. 1989/1990 pea te tau whakamutunga i tū mātou i reira. Pai ki a mātou te tū ki ngā whare wānanga. I te mea hoki ko aua wā anake i whiwhi moni ai mātou.

Kia ora e hoa mā. Thought you might enjoy this walk down memory lane when I was a member of Aotearoa in the 1980s - a Kaupapa Māori band I am incredibly proud to have been a part of.

Moe mai ra e te rangatira ki te whenua i whakataukīhia e koe. Tō tinana ki a Papatūānuku e takoto nei. Tō wairua hei whetū ki te poho o Ranginui e tū iho nei.

Wow! What alarms me is the authorities seem to be doing nothing about it? It seems being a good, caring, inclusive citizen is a bad thing. My heart goes out to everyone who is affected. Kia kaha!

I te Oketopa o tērā tau, i raua tētahi haurua o te kūmara ki te wai. E rua wiki pea i muri mai i puta ētahi tipu. I te Noema, i hangaia he pouaka whakatō. Nā taku hoa rangatira ngā tipu i whakatō. Kei te pohi nei ētahi whakaahua hei whakaatu i te tipu haeretanga o tā māua māra paku nei.
