Te reo Māori will take on a higher profile over the coming week as Aotearoa marks the second half-century of Te Wiki o te Reo Māori (Māori Language Week), which runs from Monday 14 to Sunday 20 September.

Celebrate Te Wiki o te Reo Māori in South Wairarapa by embracing the language that connects us to our history, culture and community whether it’s a greeting, a karakia or a simple conversation.

Karawhiua – give it a go.

Nau mai, haere mai. Kia kaha te reo Māori.
