This week is the 50th anniversary of Te Wiki o te Reo Māori (Māori Language Week).
Born of activism, the week grew from a single ‘Māori Language Day’ set up in 1972. The seeds of a full week dedicated to te reo Māori were planted in 1974. By 1975 Te Wiki had found its footing and was off! Its growth and gains are what we celebrate 50 years on. Find out more about this great anniversary and ways to mark it here.
