How would Māori be in the 21st century without our reo?

This was made for a short-film competition at Te Huinga Tauira (Māori University Students’ Conference). The theme was 'Māori in the 21st Century' and we took inspiration from the whakatauki 'Ko te reo kia tika, ko te reo kia rere, ko te reo kia Māori'. Asking the idea of would culture be the same if we kept process and traditions, but performed it in English?

Ko te reo kia tika, ko te reo kia rere, ko te reo kia Māori.

This video was submitted by Titahi Ki Tua (TKT) as part of the short film comp for Te Huinga Tauira ki Papaioea, 2014.
