    Arriving from Fiji, newly-wed Halima Stewart headed straight to Tapu Te Ranga Marae where she raised three kids with husband Bruce. Halima and her two youngest, Hirini and Kirihia, talk about balancing between their Māori and Indian heritage, and reflect on their marae that burned down in 2019.
    Conversations With My Immigrant Parents is a podcast/video series where immigrant whānau have conversations they normally wouldn’t, crossing barriers of language, generation, and expectation.
    Co-hosts and producers Saraid de Silva and Julie Zhu travelled Aotearoa meeting families from different countries, sitting in as they spoke to each other about love, disappointment, what home means to them - and where home really is.

    This is what being Maori is, we embrace our brothers and sisters around the world!no matter your culture or where you are from you are apart of us. This is how all people and cultures need to be, just think if all people around the world could be like this, the world would be a much better place.

      Being MAORI is that MAORI is the only human race history born pure paint WHITE at birth. THAT'S how we no our own PEOPLE. WHY is being fake so important.

      Try embracing your own. MAORI are not born brown at BIRTH. MAORI are the PURE PAINT WHITE BABIES at birth. I NO THERE'S NO OTHER RACE IN THE WORLD WITH THIS GENETICS. MAORI are NOT born Albino either.

    You can feel the wairua when she speaks of the marae and her whanau. Beautiful wahine. I had the pleasure of having my mother’s tangi there in 2017. They didn’t have room at the time but they made space for us anyway, connected with us and just made the whole thing so much easier to handle. It crushes me to think that it’s not there anymore. I hope too that it’ll return one day, it’s a magical place with an incredible whanau.

    it's easier with pakeha because they have no culture or strong family ties. I feel for the Indian lady because she's really close to her culture and family.
