Ngā Kōrero

Because most of our knowledge is derived from wānanga, it is up to the individual to develop their own knowledge and delivery.  Our kōrero is not written, but bullet points are provided as a reference.

Feel free to add kōrero from your own hapū and whānau, your own experiences, and other mātauranga you've picked up along the way.
