Abstract
Mobilizing the Māori language in Aotearoa is critical if the language is to thrive. An Indigenous ethnography approach is used to tell my personal and professional bicultural and bilingual experiences in teaching and learning. These lived Māori world views and experiences also illustrate how technology is transforming language opportunities.
