Why is speaking te reo Māori important?
The following questions are where my thoughts have been leading me and I hope to explore these questions and hopefully draw some conclusions in this blog.
Is speaking te reo Māori a requirement to uphold the principles of Aotearoa New Zealand's bi cultural curriculum Te Whāriki.
I wonder if interweaving te reo Māori and English together is authentic and respectful.
I will explore the history of te reo Māori language in my next post and set the historical context before I discuss the questions further.

I really like your title Julie and think this is a very topical political question that is becoming omore prominent in the national debate - not just in the educational field. I look forward to your investigation and discussion.
