Tangata Tiriti Badge

I love it. When I 1st heard the term Tangata Tiriti it resinated with my wairua. My aroha, my whakakake for Aotearoa, my belonging to this land where I was born. I take pride in using the term Pakeha. am a Public Health Nurse working in the Te Awamutu area. I am proudly wearing it on my lanyard where it sits above my beautiful Heart Pounamu that I was gifted for my 60th by my whanau.
