Today in history: Women win the right to vote in New Zealand!
On the 19 September 1983 (125 years ago!) Kate Sheppard taught us that voting is important: "Do not think your single vote does not matter much. The rain that refreshes the parched ground is made up of single drops."
Kia pai to Wiki o te Reo Māori!

Thank you all so much for your support for Te Tiriti o Waitangi. It would be great to see this taonga widely distributed, but for now it’s a resource just for schools. BUT! You can download a PDF version from bit.ly/2O5BKdp
It’s not too late – learn numbers for Cook Island Language Week!
