Kiran | Maori Language Moment 2021

For our Māori Language Moment Te Wā Tuku Reo Māori, the staff at the Whanganui Regional Museum | Te Puni Tiaki Taonga o Whanganui sang waiata together in the museum atrium at midday and filmed it for a Facebook live stream.

Tēnā rā koutou katoa.

Ka mihia te kaupapa nui whakaharahara kua whakarauika i a tātou i tēnei rā, arā, ko te reo Māori.

Whakanuia tō tātou nei reo Māori i tēnei rā te 14 o Mahuru! Nā reira, anei mātou ko ngā kaimahi o Te Puni Tiaki Taonga o Whanganui, me te ngākau iti, e mahi ana i ngā mahi hei tautoko i tēnei kaupapa, tēnā koutou, tēnā koutou, kia ora mai tātou katoa.

Greetings to you all.
