Māori Language Week | Te Wiki o te Reo Māori

12/09/2022 0:00 - 19/09/2022 0:00

Aotearoa | New Zealand | Nationwide

We remember those who championed te reo when it was socially and politically unacceptable to do so.

In 1972 a small group of language champions presented a petition to parliament from 30,000 New Zealanders asking the government to teach Māori language in schools.

Following the Māori language Treaty of Waitangi claim, te reo was declared an official language of New Zealand in 1987. This is how our organisation; the Māori Language Commission was established. It’s been a long journey but it’s one that hasn’t finished, and we are inviting all New Zealanders to join us.

Honour the past, celebrate New Zealand’s language and prepare for our future. Together.

This collaborative platform was established to enable the community of the International Decade of Indigenous Languages (IDIL 2022–2032) to share events, activities, and resources. The content published on the platform is the responsibility of registered users and does not commit the Secretariat of the Decade (UNESCO) and/or the Members of the Global Task Force for Making a Decade of Action for Indigenous Languages. Please note that the platform has been inactive since February 2025 and no longer accepts new uploads. While work is underway to provide an updated solution, the Secretariat of IDIL 2022–2032 remains available for any inquiries at: indigenous.languages@unesco.org.
