Te Wiki o te Reo Māori is an annual celebration for all New Zealanders to show their support for the Māori language, an official language of this country.
The theme for Te Wiki 2024 is ‘Ake ake ake – A Forever Language’. It represents the resilience, adaptability and endurance of our language.
It also reflects the commitment New Zealanders have to embracing and learning te reo Māori long into the future.
Visit reomaori.co.nz to sign up and show your support this Māori Language Week and join the movement to support our forever language. Kia māhorahora te reo – let’s make it seen, let’s make it heard.
