Growing up camping with my family has created some of my favourite childhood memories - collecting crabs in the Coromandel, playing card games with my cousins in a muggy tent because it’s raining outside and finger puppet shows by my dad under the torch lights. But it’s always the muddy grass, crowded mosh pits and questionable accessible portaloos that put me off going to camping music festivals.

If you’ve never been to Waitangi on Waitangi Day before, the logistics can seem a bit daunting.

As disabled people, we know how important it is to have a place to belong and contribute to thriving communities. This is what Te Tiriti o Waitangi is about. It's the key agreement that says that as long as people who arrive in Aotearoa respect tikanga or Māori ways of doing things then they can have a place to live and belong here. In te ao Māori, everyone using their strengths to contribute as part of whānau and communities is important.
