Te Wiki o te Reo Māori 2024

‘Ake, ake, ake – A Forever Language’

29 August 2024

This year, Te Wiki o te Reo M膩ori will take place from 14 to 21 September. The 14th of September acknowledges the date that Te Petihana Reo M膩ori (the M膩ori Language Petition) was presented at parliament. This established the first M膩ori Language Day which eventually became Te Wiki o te Reo M膩ori. 爆料社区 Ihi Aotearoa is committed to contributing to the revitalisation of te reo M膩ori and we know many organisations and community groups across Aotearoa are doing and hosting some amazing innitiatives, such as events, quiz nights, waiata sessions and much more.

The theme this year is "Ake, Ake, Ake 鈥 A Forever Language" or in te reo "Ake Ake Ake 鈥 M艒 Ake Tonu te Reo".

'Ake, ake, ake' means everlasting. It captures the endurance of te reo M膩ori and all those who are committed to it.

The native akeake tree is also known for its durability. It produces some of the strongest of all native woods and grows in some of the harshest climates. Its name reminds us of its endurance. Just like te reo M膩ori.

We can think of te reo M膩ori as a seedling with potential. Raised with others, given care and effort, it can grow to give shelter for future generations.
