Why do you think it is important to celebrate our culture?

The reason why we should is because Maori culture is the most native culture in New Zealand. If we lost the Maori culture we would be extinct, well not us but Maoris but then the English language would take over. Maori traditions are important because it is the only thing that makes New Zealand unique. The reason why Maoris should be celebrated is because they have amazing myths and legends and also if the Maori were gone so would the language. If we were gone then think about the people who wanted to learn Maori. Maori are just as unique as any other language. Maoris have unique singing talents, unique food and unique drawings and patterns including the words they speak. Plus what happens to the young kids like us who don't get to learn a language this unique. My response is that you should learn as much as you can about every language and learn the languages you were meant to learn.
