Only one in five people can speak Maori fluently. CE of Taura Whiri i te Reo Maori and former Radio Ngati Porou Manager Ngahiwi Apanui says to encourage whanau to engage in learning te reo Maori this year, they’re running ‘Maori Language Moment’ – Te Wa Tuku Reo Maori on 14 September. It’s a special day. It’s when the Petition to make Maori Language and official language of NZ was submitted to the government of the day.
