10. No he was born in New Zealand and is ignorant towards the Måori language. Thanks for watching.
11. You shouldnt be so hard on the guy speaking English. He was probably born Australian and it is not his fault he is brain damaged.
12. Yes the Māori people are from the Pacific. Our language is part of the Pacific. Especially the Cook Islands and Tahiti. Thats interesting what you said about Chaldaean. Thanks for watching.
13. That language sounds like all the 'indigenous' languages around the coast of the Pacific Ocean. some say there used to be a continent nowadays referred to as Lemuria, and in old Tibetan scrolls written in Chaldaean, the land is referred to Lamura, if I'm not mistaken.
14. Hello. Im glad you enjoyed my video. This matter is a ongoing matter with us people. But I think there are other cultures that have this problem as well. Greetings to the land of the Auto bahn. Sehr gut!

17. We would probly eat you..... Na LOL we wouldnt man. We would treat you like anyone else in New Zealand. New Zealand is multi culture . Our schools cater towards other cultures of the world as well. I know how it feels migrating.
18. Kia ora ! l am mexican but planning on migrating to NZ sometime next year, hopefully... so l try to learn as much as possible about the Maori -magnificent- culture; my concern is, how would You react before my family? me and my children are mexicans and my husband is African ?... Blessings to you all. And thank you.
19. LOL at 1:46 i thought you said "ai kae" to the children. i had to rewind it a few times lol. anyway, i liked your approach to the situation about the maori culture. funny, yet informative. take care.
20. Thank you for your nice remarks on my video. I understand you finding it daunting to teach a culture that doesn't belong to you. But we as teachers need to adapt to our surroundings and teach what is appropriate to those children we are teaching. I am from a tribe called Nga Puhi and when I am out of those boundrys things can be daunting for me to teach as I need to relearn many ways that are different to from where I am from. Kia kaha and try your best at what you can do within this subject.
21. Yea, no worries, how can i hear this song?

23. Thank you very much for the comment.  This was a university presentation.
24. Kia ora! Wiremu, this is great video with very serious message... Do you plan to make more videos about problems that Maori people have in Aotearoa? Your culture is magnificent and im enjoying in learning about it cause i plan to move to Aotearoa in 2009. Wish me luck :) Great job Wiremu! Keep uploading and keep fighting!
25. Its all theory talk from the National party leader. We Maori are good fighters in the legal system. Alot of us are becoming educated so we can get jobs where we can preserve our culture.  Thanks for your concerns.

Pronounciation of the Maori language by teachers

Here in Aotearoa/ New Zealand the official language is Maori. Maori people are the natives of this country. There are still alot of main stream teachers that refuse to pronounce it correctly, let alone teach it. This video was a presentation that I presented to my colleuges to express my concern of how mainstream teachers can get away with mispronouncing the official language, as where if us Maori teachers mispronounce English we can get in serious trouble.
