Te Wiki o Te Reo Māori — Māori Language Week
4 Hōngongoi — 10 Hōngongoi 2011
4 July — 10 July 2011
Te Wiki o Te Reo Māori — Māori Language Week celebrates te reo Māori. The Māori language is a taonga that gives New Zealand its distinct and unique cultural identity.
Each year The Māori Language Commission sets a theme, and in 2011 it is “Manaakitanga” — hospitality, kindness, and making visitors welcome.
