CAREY WEEKLY NEWSLETTER 2024 S2 WEEK 8

Te Wiki o Te Reo Māori

Next week is a special week across Aotearoa, as it’s Māori language week. Here’s a message from Luke Kaa Morgan on what’s significant about next week:

“For a large part of the 1900's Maaori language was discouraged and socially unacceptable. In September 1972 Maaori language advocates presented a petition to parliament carrying the signatures of 30,000 New Zealanders calling for te reo to be taught in schools. This became a day of peaceful protest that saw our language, our taonga, reclaimed. It was in 1987 that te reo became recognised as an official language of our country. Toi tuu te reo. Te Wiki o te Reo Maaori is an annual celebration for all New Zealanders to participate in demonstrating the value of this key part of our national identity. Kia kaha te reo Maaori.”
