This young man has class ❤

You've been a great insight and inspiration to your own ancestry past and present. Kia ora e tama👍

Kia ora Finnian. He korero aataahua aau korero. nga mihi nui mo eenei korero pai. I agree entirely with your thoughts and beautiful words. My name is Moana. Easy right? We are surrounded by the Moana; there is a Moana road or street in almost every town and yet all through my schooling and majority of my adult life, I have been called Mona or Mowanna or Mo-anna. EEEKKKK!!! Thank you, Thank you, Thank you. Our hope is that people will take notice and "make an effort." You are a leader amongst your age group. kia kaha e hoa.

Respect this kid soo much 🤌💯

Much respect to you and thank you for putting it out there about pronunciation of Maori kupu. It always amazes me how we get corrected for pronouncing pakeha words wrong but it doesn't hold for mispronounced Maori. So thank you young man.

I love this boy you are awesome❤️😎🙏

This guys is an inspiration❤

Beautiful

Ma to mohio, ka marama. Through awareness, comes understanding.

I would vote for him if he runs in the future

Amazing! We can all improve!

I think all New Zealanders should try to learn Maori.

The Man!

Oh how the times has changed 😢

I want to vote for him as a future NZ prime minister
