Lisa, Supervising Customs Officer Outreach to Māori Exporters, is celebrating Te Wiki o Te Reo Māori with her Customs whānau.

After completing a 1 year total immersion Te Reo Māori language course last year, a whole new world opened up for her.

“I have always wanted to learn the language. I was raised in the culture of whānau, hui, tautoko, whanaungatanga, but I lost my father at the age of 13 and with that, any interest to learn the reo. However, through all the challenges that life throws at everyone, there is no denying identity."

"He wahine Māori ahau. Being raised on our whenua, at our marae, in the shadows of the safety of our maunga, next to our river that watered out stock and land to sustain us, reminds me of what I have come from, thus what I am a part of. That ability to reminisce, to recount memories, to speak with my elders and wider whānau in te reo Māori, is a blessing like no other. Speaking history helps keep them close, keeps you strong and keeps you connected," says Lisa.
