Kia ora and welcome to my podcast! This is my first episode in English and a very special one at that. I'm talking about Māori culture and traditions with Cypress, a 16 year old Māori girl that worked in our shop with us and who we became friends with. I ask her some basic questions about the Māori way of life, traditions like the tangi (funeral), special food and their language, te reo. She even sings a special song (Waiata) and performs a Haka for us! I'm still getting goosebumps listening to it. I hope you'll enjoy this episode!
