Whakanuia Te Wiki o te Reo Māori 2008!


Te Wiki o te Reo Māori 21-27 Hōngongoi 2008
(Māori Language Week 21-27 July 2008)

Māori Language Week has been celebrated for over 30 years, and in July 2008 we are all invited to join in.

Māori Language Week runs from 21-27 July, 2008. The theme for 2008 is "Te Reo i te Kāinga - Māori Language in the Home."

Since 1975 Māori Language Week has been an opportunity for us to speak it, or to show our support to speakers of te reo Māori. Join us in 2008 as we celebrate te reo Māori - the Māori language.

Haere rā = Goodbye (to someone leaving)
