Ko Hikurangi te maunga. 

Ko Waiapu te awa.

Ko Horouta te waka. 

Ko Whakatohea te hapu. 

Ko Ngati Porou te iwi. 

Ko Wi Pere te tangata. 

Ko Isaiah Smiler tōku ingoa. 

Hey there, my name is Isaiah Smiler.

I'm currently a student journalist at the New Zealand Broadcasting School with a very keen interest in sport, as my profile shows. I've had a passion for journalism and writing in general since before starting secondary school at Palmerston North Boys' High School. Other than sport, I take a particular interest in the Māori culture and issues surrounding Māori people. Before everything is said and done, my ultimate goal is to cover NBA Basketball over in the United States as a journalist or apart of a media team.
