Wai te gawai. Whilst this day signifies the signing of the founding document between Māori and Pakahā, we also know that this has become a national day where all cultures that make up New Zealand can reflect on the day and participate. So what does the Muslim community think about Waitangi Day? And do they participate? Join us in the studio Ali and Petra, Tena Kaurua. So what does Te Tiriti and Wai Te Ghi Day mean to you in the Muslim community? So before we start Kioratata Al-Tairoa, I'd like to thank New Zealand and Al-Tairoa for their aroha that they showed towards the Muslim community on the 15th of March and post that. And we'd like to thank Naitahu and the rest of the iwi that supported the Muslim community and everybody who reached out and put their hand forward and asked us if we needed any help or assistance. So thank you so much for that. That's right and such a hard time coming up on the 15th. And I suppose you saw that, Adoha, you saw that love. And what does it mean to the Muslim community abroad? So in terms of relating back to your question around the Treaty of Wai Te Ghi, I think when we talk about the Treaty or think about the Treaty, it's a start of justice. It's the beginning of the healing for New Zealand. And at the end of it, at the end of justice, or what we would like to see as a nation, is that everybody paddling on the same waka. So that's what the Treaty of Wai Te Ghi, I believe, signifies that the ability to practice and live amongst one another as people. And I guess that document began this journey and that's why we are here today. That's right. And so how important is the Māori culture in your community, your Muslim community? Actually, it's very important because we view Māori as the people of the land, the guardians of the land long before we even got here. So it is something that we need to be very aware of and educated about. And growing up in New Zealand, it actually makes me really upset that I never learnt the language. And I'm quite limited in that, even though I grew up here. That's right. How long have you been living in Althea? 25 years for myself. Roughly the same. Yeah. So you went to school here? Yes. And what, you didn't learn much of the history? Not enough. No. Well, I went to Takanini Primary School and that was quite strong in Te Al Māori. But then what happened was my parents decided to take me to more, let's just say, Pākehā schools. And they kind of got disconnected there and then reconnected again in university when there was an emphasis on teaching the Treaty of Waitangi as a core, as part of all the courses, I think, at university. And yeah, so like talking about Te Al Māori, there's a lot of similarities between Islam and Te Al Māori. And there's a lot of similarities between the Arab culture and the Māori culture. We do the Hāngi and the Hāngi. Yes. Yes. Yeah. And when we talk about Aroha, the word Aroha in Māori is talking about the spiritual love. Aroha. Aroha. In Arabic, we have this term called Aroha. And we believe that God put the spirit in Adam, Pispi upon him. And when we talk about Aroha, the love, it's very deep. It's very spiritual. It's not a one-dimensional. And when you say, I love you, that's it, it ends there. This is more than that, you know? And it's spreading the love between one another. Yeah. That's why we refer to each other as brother and sister in Islam. It's like brother Ali. Yes. Talking about family. Family, yeah. And even when you came in and we greeted, we could, like, make him, we could hug and touch. Yeah. But you were nice, so man to a woman, no. It's a form of respect. For it, yeah. Kind of why also where the headscarf, a form of respect as well. Yeah, our Wahine are very sacred to us. And we want to protect them. And they can protect themselves. Yeah, I think. They're going to be wrong. But you know, it's a responsibility. It's a mutual respect. Okay, Nama Hikorawa. Thank you for coming in today and sharing your insights. And all our blessings and Adoha on the 15th of February. Yeah, we will be in silence, but Nama Hikorawa.
