When I first heard this it made me cry, I am of island descent and I have lost my language he made me realise the importance of my culture, my heritage this makes me see who I am...he leads the way of understanding for me and my culture and anyone else lost.

I love Stan Walker & I have loved all your reactions to his songs & documentary vids❤ I really hope & 🙏 the two of you meet one day soon🥰

Te Reo Maori is alive and well in Aotearoa (New Zealand). A lot of the first children who were taught the language from birth are now all grown up and a lot of them are now teaching the language to their children and grand children. We even have indigenous cultures from all over the world wanting to emulate our success with our language nests or better known as "Kohanga Reo", and Kura Kaupapa.

As a Maori and being able to trace my lineage back to my Waka and beyond, knowing who I am and who I am descended from plays/played an immeasurable part of who I've become and the connection I have with my whanau and culture. I tear up with gratitude when I hear this song ❤

This waiata is exactly as you described and is of upmost importance to us, and all indigenous who have been through the same. It's beautiful to see our rangatahi (young ones) sing this. We are morehu 💪🏽

Thank you for sharing some of your story at the end of the video. You are a good person and a trip to New Zealand hiking in the mountains with our god of the forest Tane watching over you Will definitely heal your wairua. Respect. 🙏

One of my favourite songs from Stan , just love it.

This song is my favorite, along with "Find you". X

Respect with love to you, you need this song of Stan’s it’s called Human. No need to thank me, you’re loved and appreciated here in Aotearoa, enjoy your company and heartfelt comments ,,,play it now,,❤

If you ever decide to come to Aotearoa, you will be looked after, i hope you make it out here 1 day 🤞🏾❤

Loved this reaction so much , Kia Ora Bro.

I am so happy that you feel exactly the same way about Stan’s music and his spiritual essence ❤

I love and admire Stans' voice, but still get blown away at how magnificent it is. Every time is like the first time💖💖💖

Mean maori mean bro great reaction

Ataahua 🥰🥰 absolutely adore this song & especially the way in which Stan sings it 🎙🎵🎼🎶 & his BV's!! Oml amazing 👏👏🤩🤩

Hope to see you here in Aotearoa soon. He does a beautiful version of "Find you" with your favourite "Stan" female BV. The only version I can find on RU-vid is a reaction video though. It'll rock your boat. Xx

Omg, I reasonate so much. I have mental illnesses...I never fitted in so I get you. Think I'm much more aware now that it's okay to be different but at times it's very hard. I'm part Tuhoe... and Kahungunu though like you don't know much about where I come from. Always had problems getting information. I know it affected my whole life. You so need to come here. I would love to give you a hug. My heart is full of pride of the man you are becoming. We are all on our own journeys and there is so much for you to discover. Come on people... let's get this amazing man to NZ. Much love to you. Chin up xx❤❤ S

You are besutiful ATAAHUA ❤❤❤love your comment very much nga mihi manaakitanga to you 🙏🏽🙏🏽✝️💕🖤🖤❤❤❤❤💋💕🥰 Wellington NZ

This waiata always gets me choked up I grew up immersed in te reo, both at home and at school, but life got in the way and I was disconnected, but I'm coming back to my roots, love this reaction, thank you ❤❤❤ Nga Mihi

You pronounced He kakano ahau like a Tongan 😄 pretty good.

Another great reaction and thank you for sharing about your personal life, that's not an easy thing to do, especially on social media. Respect ❤️ 🙏

Stan is amazing ,big up stan 🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Love stan walker and his voice and thank you for showing another video with a great message

This is a truly beautiful song, love it, but then I love each and everyone of his songs, just love watching him perform, and I love watching him dance to, 😍 you said it perfectly, Stan sings with every fibre of his being, everything comes straight from his heart and soul, I know no other singer that has his magic, I’ve been around for a number of decades, heard the 60’s 70’s 80’s 90’s 2000’s, right up until now, he is my most favourite singer of all time, the rest of the world has never seen what we see, or even understand why we see what we see, the music industry is so geared to what will be popular to the young people and the money it makes for them, I admire him greatly for how he embraces his culture, I remember seeing an interview where he said a record company said if we take you on you have to be less brown and can’t sing Maori songs, or in Maori, 😳so he stood by his principles and stayed true to himself and his culture, much respect for him, and you’re right, he does make you feel you wanna be a better person, and hope you can make it to Aotearoa one day, 😍 Arohanui Stan 😍

Another banging reaction from you brother for our brother Stan. Ka nui te aroha ki a koe

I've been so keen to see your reaction to this ❤ & sending love & support for being so open & sharing about yourself ❤

Been waiting for your review on this one you my friend are solid in your reviews 🙏

Thank you for speaking our language as properly as your can we can hear your heart.

Cool reaction brother

Beautiful ❤

If you are interested in watching a live māori competition between kura (schools) I recommend watching ASB polyfest this week on thursday and friday! My school - Waitākere college is performing at 1:30 NZ time!!!

❤❤❤❤❤❤

luv tu see u brutha nomai haere mai...luv your page my kahi muk luv

❤❤❤

This song is famous BTW.

Dear Brother of Christ , do not let bpd conform who you are, I have what they call emotional unstable pd! I like to see you as an empath, that is why you are so connected to your feelings, others and pain. Sometimes Jesus gives struggles to his strongest warriors. Which I believe you are. I don’t hurt others as I don’t believe that’s the way of life , but I know I get hurt a lot as I’m a sensitive person sadly, but I am currently seeing someone who understands this and it took years of being pushed around but, How I like to believe is I am also an empath and I feel more comfortable. Meditation helps with these sequences in our lives, but maybe not for everyone. Music is key therapy as well as we can express our emotions which is what you do in all your videos, laughing, crying, excitement and more. We do not know each other but I will offer this I am always here for you, talking etc. Sorry I do apologise for the long message, I just wanted you to know you’re not alone in any of this. Even being across the pond 😊 stay blessed

I knew you would enjoy this one when you got to it :)

💛💛💛I will have a think about how to set up a trip to NZ; I reckon we can all make it happen! Stan is performing in Wellington (Aotearoa/NZ) this eve as part of a NZ music festival. It's just a 20-minute walk from my house, so, feeling pretty lucky and spoilt! Appreciate your reaction as always. Arohanui. (P.S. Don't forget to watch 'Stan's Story' ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-aoVl8mc48z4.html.)

My favourite Stan song

The meaning to this song is that we as maori where colonized by England. Speaking maori was forbidden for children at the age of 5yrs in school if they spoke maori the children would be beaten with big wooden rulers by the nuns. If the parents didn't send there kids to school they would be taken from them and never returned! In the late 80s and teacher of maori language started up daycare for parents to put there kids into to learn maori. Which started a new generation of maori Speaking people

I come from a long line of CHIEFS🙏a seed born from greatness..he mana Maori ahau AKE AKE🙏

To much your reactions badda most of stans maori songs are waiata past down from generation to generation and the majority of maori know them .we are very proud of our nephew here in matapihi
