The Māmā Behind The Moa
Kia ora e hoa mā!
Ko Kiri tōku ingoa and I’m a Māori māmā on a mission to reclaim my reo — alongside my 5-year-old son, all the way from across the ditch in Australia.
When I couldn’t find affordable, accessible, and beautiful resources to support our journey, I started making them myself. Now I share them here at MoaThanWords so that tamariki everywhere can feel connected to their culture — no matter where they live, or where they’re starting from.
Questions, Queries or Comments?
If you have any questions, queries or comments, please reach out to Kiri@moathanwords.com or slide in our DM’s on Instagram or Facebook – I am always happy to hear your whakaaro (thoughts, ideas) and feedback – it helps @MoaThanWords to grow even moa!
