Nau mai haere mai koutou katoa! Ko tenei te kaupapa tuatahi mo te wiki o te reo maori ki a RTH!
Te Wiki o te Reo Māori is an annual celebration for all New Zealanders to show their support for the Māori language, an official language of this country.
The theme for Te Wiki 2024 is ‘Ake ake ake – A Forever Language’. It represents the resilience, adaptability and endurance of our language. It also reflects the commitment New Zealanders have to embracing and learning te reo Māori long into the future.
*Under enduring pressure te reo Māori has shown it will adapt and survive. It grows with our people, our culture and our environment.*
Join us this Māori Language Week to uplift te reo Māori now and into the future!
Kia māhorahora te reo – let’s make it seen, let’s make it heard.
In the name of the theme "Ake ake ake – A Forever Language’. It represents the resilience, adaptability and endurance of our language" we'll be spending this session out on the whenua on the edge of our wonderful repo where we'll be out investigating and plotting where some of our local medicial plants are that were and are important to Māori people for their medicinal/rongoa properties. We'll also learn about the ways these rongoa are used and what they're used for.
We'll then carefully be entering these plants into @iNaturalist so we can together build a map detailing how abundant and well stocked our hapori are for these taonga.
While on hui, there'll be opportunities for people to explore and adventure so remember to bring comfy shoes, weather appropriate kākahu and a keen attitude for learning a bit more about our beautiful reo.
If you're interested in bringing your own device to learn about using iNaturalist you're welcome to do so but we'll also have a shared device so people without their own device can still participate :)
