Te Wiki o Te Reo Māori - Māori Language Week
14 Sep 2024, Aotearoa New Zealand
Every year since 1975 New Zealand has marked Māori Language Week. This is a time for all New Zealanders to celebrate te reo Māori (the Māori language) and to use more Māori phrases in everyday life. In 2024 Māori Language Week runs from 14–21 September.
Ake Ake Ake
A FOREVER LANGUAGE
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.
Under enduring pressure te reo Māori has shown it will adapt and survive. It grows with our people, our culture and our environment.
Join us this Māori Language Week to uplift te reo Māori now and into the future!
