Honoring Waitangi Day with Tradition, Respect, and Aroha Today, Aotearoa comes together to honor Waitangi Day—a day of deep significance, reflection, and unity. It is a time to acknowledge Te Tiriti o Waitangi, the partnership it represents, and the journey we continue as a nation. For all who call this land home, it is a moment to listen, learn, and stand together in the spirit of kotahitanga—unity. From the echoes of karanga welcoming the dawn to the rhythm of haka and waiata, we are reminded of the strength, mana, and resilience of tangata whenua. Across the motu, whānau gather in kōrero, hīkoi, and celebration, weaving the past with the present in the hope of a just and inclusive future. May today be filled with aroha, reflection, and the shared commitment to a better tomorrow. Let us honor the past, embrace the present, and move forward together with respect and understanding. Ngā mihi nui, Aotearoa. Happy Waitangi Day from the team @ Ngā Tāngata Microfinance #WaitangiDay #TeTiriti #Aotearoa #Kotahitanga #Manaakitanga #Whakapapa #TangataWhenua #Unity #Respect #Aroha
