| Kia Kaha Te Reo Māori – English Story
Take the opportunity to celebrate the Māori language.
Today marks the beginning of Te Wiki o te Reo Māori, encouraging people throughout the country, whether they are Māori or Pākeha to give te reo a go.
The concept of Te Wiki o te Reo originated in 1975 thanks to the tireless efforts of Māori who fought long and hard for the rights of their people.
Since its establishment the number of people embracing te reo has grown.
The depth of history and further context regarding Te Wiki o Te Reo can be located on the link below.
