love seeing the rangatahi take charge, but where's the coverage of the real issues facing Māori communities? typical RNZ fluff piece
chur, couldn't agree more. pisses me off when people moan about the youth.
kia ora e hoa, these kids are the future of our culture. proud as hell of Te Wharekura o Whakapūmau for making that long trip. chills down my spine just thinking about it
kapa haka is great and all but does it pay the rent? get real
yeah nah cool story but how about the traffic on the way to the event? took me an hour to get past the venue, absolute bloody nightmare
bloody oath, respect where it's due

mean as, our tamariki keeping the reo and tikanga alive. this is what true success looks like, not some corporate wank
gotta respect the dedication. drove 8 hours in a bus for that? bugger that, I'd need a week off work. good on them though
exactly mate, put them on the news for once instead of the usual rubbish
fuck yes, love kapa haka. but these articles always miss the point – it's not about winning, it's about whānau and connection. media just wants clicks
hmm, 'leading the way' is a bit strong. they're following in the footsteps of their tīpuna. but I guess RNZ needs a headline
nah mate it's about community, not money. that's the whole point
to everyone slagging off the kids: get a life. these young ones are doing more for our culture than most adults. mā te wā
