Ah... wow. I live in New Zealand, mate. Kia Ora is pretty commonly used as a friendly greeting around here. If Coca-Cola decided to do some cultural appropriation (as they often do) it's on them. Te Reo Maori is a beautiful language. WhÄia te mÄtauranga hei oranga mÅ koutou.
Just filling out my 11th-hour submission on the proposed changes to school board objectives & NELP provisions. Are they trying to move the requirement for schools to achieve equitable outcomes for MÄori students so that Seymour can remove it entirely when they scrub references to Te Tiriti? #nzpol
