Te Wiki o Te Reo Māori:
We’re gearing up for Te Wiki o te Reo Māori from 13 – 19 September!
Te Waharoa
Next week we’ll be launching our three-part series Te Waharoa to provide insight and stories of some key concepts from te Ao Māori frequently used within the tourism sector.
On Tuesday 14th September we’ll share the first episode on our NZ Māori Tourism Facebook page featuring tohunga Māori discussing the essence of
Manaakitanga: what does it look like, feel like, and smell like?
The other two episodes will be released on Wednesday 15th, and Thursday 16th on Facebook. Once they're posted you can watch them whenever you like!
Karakia
We are also hosting a nation-wide karakia every Monday and Friday mornings from 7am to 7:45am. Start your week off feeling peacefully motivated and full of rich stories from our kaikarakia, who deliver both in te reo Māori and te reo Pākehā. We’ve been recording these and will share them on our Facebook page from Friday 9 September (apōpō!).

Māori Language Moment
The Māori Language Commission is inviting all New Zealanders to celebrate te reo and join this year’s Māori Language Moment at 12pm on Tuesday 14 September from wherever they are.
Last year, more than 1 million people celebrated te reo Māori at the same time, from wherever they were at 12pm on the 14th September to mark the moment in 1972 when the Māori Language Petition was presented to parliament.
This year, the Commission will be aiming to set a new world record for the largest, single endangered language event ever by doubling its target and inviting 2 million people to join!
Help set the world record and register for the Māori Language Moment!
Kia kaha te reo Māori!
