Te Wiki o Te Reo Māori (Māori Language Week) is a time for us to celebrate the Māori culture and language. Read stories from our whānau below on what Te Wiki o Te Reo Māori means to them, and scroll down to listen to some simple phrases you can learn throughout the week.

‘Mānawatia a Matariki – Celebrate Matariki’ – a special time here in Aotearoa New Zealand as we learn more about the Matariki star cluster, reflect on the past and celebrate, feast and be with whānau and friends for what’s to come – wherever they are across the globe.
