Coralie Bodley COMMITTEE MEMBER

I te taha o tōku Māmā, Ko Kapowai te maunga, Ko Ngātokimatawhaorua te waka, Ko Waikare te awa, Ko Ngāpuhi te iwi, Ko Te Kapotai te hapū, Ko Rahiri te tupuna.

I have spent 3 years learning te reo Māori at THW, and have always felt passionate about and connected to te Ao Māori. I would like to give back to this marae in my rohe where I live, as it has given me so much, and in doing so begin my journey of giving back to te Ao Māori and honouring my tūpuna Māori. I feel privileged to be involved in this kaupapa, and believe the revitalisation of te reo Māori is paramount for a thriving Aotearoa.
