About this Event

Tamariki Taiao – Hīkoi ki Ōkere

I ahu mai tō tātou reo i te taiao. Me hoki anō tātou ki ngā taiao ki te kōrero Māori, kia rongo te taiao i tōna reo, kia rongo hoki tātou i te reo o te taiao o Te Arawa.

He aha i tua atu i te hoki atu ki te ngahere, ki te roto moana, ki ngā wāhi hirahira o te iwi ki te tūhono anō i a tātou ki te reo, i te reo ki te taiao, i te taiao ki a tātou.

Mā konei kite ai ngā tamariki me ngā pakeke i ngā āhuatanga motuhake o te taiao. Kei te pēhea tōna mauri, he aha te reo e tika ana ki te whakakōrero i a ia, ā he aha hoki te haepapa ki a tātou ki te whakapiki anō i te mauri o ngā taiao, i te mauri o te reo, otirā i te mauri o te iwi.
