Ngāti Maniapoto, Ngāti Tahu-Ngāti Whāoa

I tupu mai au i Taihape i te pāmu a taku matua. Engari ko ngā iwi o tōku whaea, ko Ngāti Maniapoto, ko Ngāti Unu te hapū me Ngāti Tahu-Ngāti Whāoa i te rohe nei o Te Arawa. I te whare wānanga i Manawatū ahau e ako ana i ngā mahi toi, kātahi au ka tahuri kē ki te āta whai atu i te reo, ā, e whāia tonutia nei. Ko tōku maringanui, ko ōku kaiako i roto i ngā tau. Kāore e whakakitea ngā ingoa, engari me mihi tonu rātou. He kaiwhakaako ahau i te reo Māori, he kaiwhakamāori kōrero, he kaituhi hoki. Kei Tāmaki Makaurau ahau e noho ana i tēnei wā.

Mā te ako e taea ai te whakaako (nā Te Wharehuia Milroy i whakamāori)
Why do you write/compose/translate/create?

Ko te ara tēnei e whakaputaina ai ngā whakaaro e ​h​urihuri nei i tōku hinengaro, ngā kare ā-roto rānei e pupū ake ​n​ei i tōku ngākau, ngā aha noa iho rānei kei roto i a au ​t​ē taea te kurupena. ​He rawe hoki ki a au te whakamāori​ i ngā kupu a tangata kē​ me te tākaro haere i ngā kupu. ​Mā te tuhi, mā te whakamāori e ora ai​ au.
