If I can briefly tell a personal story, I had quite a milestone birthday with my dad recently. There was a large group of people, and my six-year-old son, after the speeches, came up to me and said, "Dad, can I sing 'Happy Birthday'?" It blew me away. A six-year-old boy—I didn't think he'd have the confidence. We gave him the microphone—"Rā whānau ki a koe"—and he sang in te reo. Then, the next day, I heard him talk to my daughter and say, "Oh, I'm half-Irish, Mum's half-Hungarian, and I'm half-Māori." His older sister said, "You can't be part-Māori.", and he said, "Yes, I am, because I speak te reo."
