At 12 pm we stood up and sang a waiata and all of us did it. We do this because in 1840 in the Treaty, they were promise to keep Maori but no one did it. So in 1972 30,000 people signed a paper which was called a petition and so from on we learn Te Reo Maori.
Kia ora AJ, I really wish I could have been there for this, it seemed like a pretty powerful moment. Which waiata did you sing?
