#native power

I just want to live near a bunch of natives all the time...and have clean water

Honestly I can't explain how much joy I feel whenever I see the haka being performed. Because I know that after colonization the haka and so many other aspects of Maori culture including the language was nearly beaten out and destroyed but today in Aotearoa we have a nationwide competition among secondary school kapa haka groups and knowing that my school is one of those schools that competes and seeing the girls slay it every time just fills me with so much joy and I think that's something white people don't understand. White people will never understand the joy and pride that comes in seeing an aspect of your culture, an aspect that was nearly wiped out, displayed in front of you by your people.
