Ti hei mauri ora. #HogsAbroad

Ti hei mauri ora. I'm truly honored and humbled by the opportunity to speak (both in Māori and English) at a Marae, which are sacred meeting grounds in the Māori culture. Opportunities for such genuine adaption into indigenous cultures are rare, and the warmth we were shown is something all societies could learn from. This will certainly be something I remember for the rest of my life. Tena koutou, tena koutou, tena koutou katoa.
