Te Wiki o Te Reo Māori 2025
Join us this September to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Te Wiki o te Reo Māori. – Māori Language Week
Born of activism, the week grew from a single ‘Māori Language Day’ set up in 1972. The seeds of a full week dedicated to te reo Māori were planted in 1974. By 1975 Te Wiki had found its footing and was off! Its growth and gains are what we celebrate 50 years on.
Te Wiki takes place from 14 – 20 September 2025.
