Photo of Kura kaupapa drowns out anti-reo Māori complaints at hockey game with waiata

A secondary school boys hockey tournament held over the weekend in Ōtautahi, Christchurch, saw complaints from the crowd about Te Kura Kaupapa Māori o Ruamata’s team’s use of te reo Māori.

 

But, when a nearby kura kaupapa, TKKM o Te Whānau Tahi, heard the complaints, “that the tamariki should not speak it while on the field playing”, it decided to take action.

 

TKKM o Te Whānau Tahi students turned up in their droves to cheer on the Rotorua kura from the sidelines - with waiata, haka and whakataukī.
