Nā te hirahira o tēnei tau, arā, te hokinga mahara ki te wā i tuku ai i te petihana reo Māori ki Pāremata, i tapaina ai tā mātou wā tuku reo ki te ingoa "Whakanuia te reo Māori".
For our Māori Language moment, Te Tūāpapa Kura Kāinga | Ministry of Housing and Urban Development coined our theme as "Celebrate the Māori language".
To do this we celebrated graduates of our programme "Te Kākano", a six-week course building the foundations of reo and tikanga Māori understanding.
We also launched our Māori Language plan "Taukaea" setting out our goals for the next year going forward.
We invited our Associate Housing Minister Peeni Henare to share why it was important to support and promote the Māori Language.
To top our moment off, our organisation learned the music and actions to the waiata "E minaka ana" by Pania Papa as a way for us to use reo Māori during our moment.
Ahakoa mutu ai te Wiki o te Reo Māori, te Wā Tuku Reo rānei, ka ū mātou ki te kaupapa whakatairanga ai tō tātou reo taketake!
Even after Māori Language Week and Moment have finished, we endeavour to promote our indigenous language!
