CROWN LAUNCHES COMMITMENT TO TE REO MAORI – MAHUTA
Māori Development Minister, Hon Nanaia Mahuta, says the Crown’s commitment to ensure basic te reo is spoken by a million people in 2040 took a major step forward today.
The Maihi Karauna, the Crown’s Māori language strategy, was launched at Te Matatini in recognition of the festival’s passion and commitment to te reo. This strategy is intended to complement the Maihi Maori which supports iwi, hapū and whānau aspirations towards te reo māori revitalisation.
"The Crown has long held the responsibility to protect te reo Māori as a taonga and the Maihi Karauna sets out a context for that responsibility to inform how Government can achieve this for all of us to use, share and protect te reo Māori.
"I know that for te reo to thrive by 2040 we all need to do our part, working together to make te reo a working, living language," said Nanaia Mahuta.

- Hosting rangatahi regional workshops and a national summit.
- A social marketing campaign to promote the value of te reo Māori.
- Snap-reo, a series of quick, micro-lessons in te reo Māori, available on a variety of media.....
