We speak with Māori Midwife Camille Harris and fragrance developer Tiffany Witehira who are both at the beginning of their year-long total immersion Māori language course. The pair share the stories behind their desire to reclaim te reo, share their lived experiences of language being looked down upon as a result of colonisation and, give us an insight into the first month of their study. They also share some study tips and tricks they have picked up along the way.
Following on from the acclaimed NUKU podcast and book that showcased 100 kickass Indigenous women doing things differently, our new series Tōku Reo is focussed on language. Across 10 special episodes we will be sharing the language reclamation journeys of Indigenous women, including our host Qiane Matata-Sipu who has returned to kura in 2022 studying Rumaki Reo at Te Wananga Takiura o ngā Kura Kaupapa Māori o Aotearoa.
