- Because of colonisation many Māori chose to adopt Pākehā names and give their children English names to avoid punishment for using te reo and the mispronunciation of their ingoa. Subscribe to Re: bit.ly/subscribe-re
Now, a new generation of Māori are choosing to reclaim, adopt and celebrate their Māori names.
Re: News spoke to six tangata Māori about the story behind their Māori name, what it means to their identity and what it took to reclaim their indigenous ingoa.
“My nan, my koro, was that generation that were beaten for speaking Māori and not wanting to use their own gifted Māori names. That's just a passed down trauma,” Aroha Harris says.
“I decided to use my ingoa Māori when I had begun Takiura and was in full emission te reo Maori. That safe space gave me the kaha and the encouragement to whakamana my ingoa Māori. It just feels more me. It's a funny thing to explain, I get quite emotional.”

You are missing the point. The personal internal meaning and feeling is what is paramount here. Without this all names are meaningless. Kia Ora
Ko Ana taku ingoa ae. For those in our family with non Maori names we've grown up with it's attached and love them.
Maori names we've grown up with. Our parents spoke fluent Maori so we had beautiful sounding parents in our home. 💖 ❣ 💕 💘

Watch dougles Murray and Thomas sowell.
Shout out to all the Maori fams out there..the coolest kind.. Indigenous to Aotearoa and indigenous to Oceania.
Maoris are NOT NATIVE TO NEW ZEALAND there were people already living in nz way before Maoris landed on the shores of nz.
People are over the lies and BS that keeps coming out nowadays.
All there doing is killing nz and going to start a racist war.
No body is indigenous to any country as somebody has always been there before you
I like using taku ingoa Maori ko Pātariki 👍🏽
Watered down
A windscreen wiper (Commonwealth English) or windshield wiper (American English) is a device used to remove rain, snow, ice, washer fluid, water, or debris from a vehicle's front window. Almost all motor vehicles, including cars, trucks, buses, train locomotives, and watercraft with a cabin-and some aircraft-are equipped with one or more such wipers, which are usually a legal requirement.
A wiper generally consists of a metal arm; one end pivots, and the other end has a long rubber blade attached to it. The arm is powered by a motor, often an electric motor, although pneumatic power is also used for some vehicles. The blade is swung back and forth over the glass, pushing water, other precipitation, or any other impediments to visibility from its surface. The speed is usually adjustable on vehicles made after 1969, with several continuous rates and often one or more intermittent settings. Most personal automobiles use two synchronized radial-type arms, while many commercial vehicles use one or more pantograph arms.
In Hawaii I was not allowed to be called Kaeo in church or school I was told I had to pick a English name .
Aloha mai e Kaeo,
Yes, we kānaka have also suffered.
My parents decided that enough was enough, and they gave my siblings and I Hawaiian first names. Since then, we have only given Hawaiian first names onto the next generation.
that's such bullshit 😠 I'm so angry for you. did that change eventually?
Machine language is not a legal language in new Zealand ai says so

@@jubei2154 When we are born, a birth certificate is made , The name which is either in all FULL CAPITAL LETTERS is you're Cestui Que Vie Trust or you're Legal Fiction. Which can be administered in Court as a Constructive trust. All Births registered under the "Department/Register of Births , Deaths and Marriages, captures all as everything "REGISTERED"(Regis-Legis) is claimed under or belongs to the CROWN or STATE and GOVT.
But Maoris don't even know were they came from as there not indigenous to new Zealand.
There were already people living in New Zealand when Maoris landed on the shores of nz only 650 years ago.
People out there need to know the truth
Why did maoris move to New Zealand after they built the pyramids in Egypt?
@user-oh4yd5uh4e what planet are you living on coming up with this BS.
Maoris are native Taiwanese people this is also were hospitals go to get bone marrow for cancer patients if they can't find donors.
People are over the lies
They literally call themselves Polynesian. It's not a secret. But NZ doesn't belong to white people's no matter what they think..
Do tell us this truth you speak of @hardlydavidson1937??
Forgetting about the tribes part. Where from.
