My son, Aronui, loves to visit his marae and acknowledge the importance of the day. His marae is in Ngaruawahia. It's called 'Turangawaewae.' Sometimes they hold very special events at Turangawaewae. Aronui loves to attend these events and celebrate his Maori ancestry. I love that you are interested in also acknowledging the importance of Maori and the Treaty of Waitangi. It is, arguably, the single most important document that has ever been signed in New Zealand. We, in Canada, have yet to sign a document like the treaty and we have huge issues and challenges raging between our provincial government and our first nations people. I hope that we are able to follow New Zealand's lead and prepare/sign a treaty one day as well!<br /><br />In the meantime, we can be very grateful that we live in a country that acknowledges the past and celebrates a peaceful and, somewhat, united future!<br /><br />I hope that you're able to attend a special event for Waitangi Day this year, Von :)<br /><br />Cheers,<br />RachelAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10992026915931452376noreply@blogger.com
