Ko ngā tāone reo Māori te iho o te kaupapa o Te Wiki o Te Reo Māori 2026 🏡🌀🩷

Te Taura Whiri i te Reo Māori (the Māori Language Commission) and Te Mātāwai are inviting towns and cities across the motu to boost te reo Māori so it is heard, seen and lived during Te Wiki and beyond.

Under the theme Ake, Ake, Ake – A Forever Language, the 2026 focus is Te Reo Towns - a celebration of the communities who have kept te reo Māori alive, and an invitation for all of Aotearoa to help it flourish into the future.

📆 Te Wiki runs from 14-20 September 2026. Hei te Hepetema e te iwi!

Nō te tau 2010 whakatūria ai Te Paepae Motuhake, he rōpū motuhake hei arotake i te reo Māori. Nā runga anō i ā rātou tūtohutanga i whānau mai ai a Te Mātāwai i te tau 2016, he hinonga mā ngā iwi me ngāi Māori hei whakakanohi i a tātou, e tika ai te kawe o te reo Māori ki ōna whenua haumako, hei reo matua i ngā hapori, hei reo ūkaipō i ngā kāinga.

Nā Tā Tāmati Reedy te kōrero “Ko Te Mātāwai tukuna kia rere, kia horoia te ao, kia horoia ā tātou tamariki huri noa i te wai mātao, i te wai i tuku mai i ngā puna wai o ō tātou mātua tīpuna”.

Nō reira kei te tāpui tāmaka o te ao Māori, e Tā e, me kore ake koe e rangatira ai Te Reo Mauriora. Okioki atu rā ki te hunga nōu i āta whakakanohi i a koe e ora ana. Ko Te Mātāwai te mahuetanga mai o ō mahi, te puna reo o te ora, te pupūtanga mai o ngā wai i roto i ngā maunga kua hora ake ki runga i te whenua katoa. 🌿

Te reo Māori champion Rauru Broughton honoured with Te Matoe o te Reo award West Coast te reo Māori champions were honoured at Te Matoe o te Reo in New Plymouth, including Rauru Broughton for his lifelong work in Māori radio and language revitalisation.

Piki mai te maruwehi o te ao pāpāhō Māori, a Tākuta Te Anga Nathan, ki te Poari o Te Mātāwai!

Kauanuanutia ana ia mō ōna kawenga tautini ki ngā mahi pāpāho Māori, e tō mai ana i ngā wheako pāpāho Māori, rautaki whakawhiti whakaaro me ngā whanaketanga reo Māori i roto ngā tau 30, neke atu. Huihui ēnei wheako katoa, nā āna mahi hautū i a Whakaata Māori me Te Māngai Pāho hoki, kua pakari te rongo i te reo Māori e horapa ana i Aotearoa.
