Today marks the beginning of Te Wiki o Te Reo Māori (Māori Language Week)!
We’re kicking off the celebration with a ceremony that includes karakia, waiata, and the raising of the flag. This week is a great opportunity to learn new kupu and use them every day of the year.
Ko tōku reo tōku ohooho, ko tōku reo tōku māpihi mauria.
My language is my awakening; my language is the window to my soul.”
This whakataukī encourages people to see the language as a source of strength and a key to understanding a unique worldview Te Ao Māori.
