-
- Leisure
Ko Hikurangi te toka tapu
Ko Waiapu koka huhua te awa
Ko Ngati Porou te Iwi
Ko Koha Te Rehutai Eruera Rogers awau
Tihei Mauri ora
Hikurangi is the sacred rock
Waiapu te mother river of many
Ngati porou is the tribe
My names is Koha Te Rehutai Eruera Rogers
Let there be life
I am a product of my maori ancestors of the east coast of the north island of New Zealand. I was born in Te Puia springs near Ruatorea in 1992, and grew up in Ruatorea.
I am an educator of 9 years, and currently teach in the small central North Island town of Taumarunui.
As you will hear in the podcast, my passion sits squarely within the revitalization of the Maori language(the indigenous language of NZ) and its customs.
My life goal has been to see and hear the language flourish within upcoming generations.
However, reviving a language can be taxing at the best of times, so a trip to Rarotonga now again is the absolute ticket to rejuvenate, tuku(release) and realign the self, so that I can push through any obstacles that I come across.
It was an absolute privilege to sit with my cousin Chantal and talk about my life and visit to Raro.
Nga mihi nui
Meitaki nunui
Thank you
Kia Orana, May you live long
Aere Ra, Farewell
Kia Manuia, Good Luck and Good Health
