The video of the speech of a young New Zealand MP of only 21 years is going viral on social media.
The female Saal MP named Hana-Raohiti-Maapi-Clark is the youngest member of Parliament in New Zealand’s 170-year history.
He gave a speech in the language of the Maori people, after which this speech has remained a topic of discussion.
Let us tell you that Maori is one of the tribes of New Zealand. Their language is almost extinct. According to New Zealand Herald, the young MP is fighting to protect the language and rights of the Maori people.
A few days earlier he had given a speech in Parliament, in which Hana said in Maori language, “I am ready to give my life for you…and I am also ready to save your life.”
Hana’s speech in Maori language received a huge response on social media. This video has gone viral on many social media platforms including Instagram, X and Facebook.
New Zealand’s young MP Hana said that students of the Maori tribe do not progress because they do not get the opportunity to study in their language. Hana gave a message of hope to the Maori people in that speech.
He assured that the Maoris would no longer have to suffer to learn their mother tongue.
The 21-year-old MP lives in Huntly, a small town between Auckland and Hamilton. There she teaches gardening to Māori children at the Māori Community Garden.
Hana is also a member of the Māori tribal rights organization Naga Tamata. His grandfather was also a member of this organization.
According to British media The Guardian, Hana considers herself a protector of the Maori language rather than a politician. Hana believes there is a need to bring the voices of a new generation of Māori to the global stage.
