Eda Tang
Ko Pupuke te wai i kauria tuatahitia e au.
I ruia taku kākano i Tāmaki Herenga Waka, nō te mana whenua o Ngāti Whatua, i reira tipu ai.
I tapaina au e tōku iwi Hainihi ko Te Tamaiti o Tuarangi, ko 唐子遥. Anei ko Eda Tang e mihi atu nei.
It's my pleasure to teach te reo Māori and facilitate the rōpū waiata at Selwyn Community Education. I share the responsibility that all kaiako carry to whakamana the living histories and knowledges embedded within waiata and language.
