Kia ora and welcome to Episode 2, Series 2!
I'm joined by special guest, Amelia Butler, the founder of Learn Maori Abroad. She is talking to us about growing up in Tamaki Makaurau, Auckland, NZ, and moving to Los Angeles in 2009. In 2017, Amelia started an LA-based kapa haka group, and in 2018, she started Learn Maori Abroad. This is now her life's work, and it revolves around sharing Maori culture and Te Reo Maori to learners living all around the world.
"Our ancestors have spoken these words, and so I think that's just so, so special that we are activating our whakapapa connection in the present moment, that does mean our ancestors are right with us, because we're speaking the same words that they spoke. We are singing the same waiata that they sung." - Amelia Butler
The intake of Learn Maori Abroad is happening now and starts on August 7th, 2021.
You can connect with Amelia and find out all about the Learn Māori Abroad Program on Facebook at ‘Learn Māori Abroad’ and on Instagram @learnmaoriabroad or email info@learnmaoriabroad.com.
