E anga whāiti ana te whare nei ki ngā rangahautanga e pā ana ki ngā mahi whakatorokiki, whakapūioio i te reo Māori. He whare mō te motu whānui, ka mahi tahi ki te maha atu o ngā rōpū rangahau reo Māori e ea ai ngā kawenga kua tohua māna.

Āna kaupapa tuatahi

E rima ngā whāinga tōmua i poua hei kaupapa tuatahi mā te pūtahi nei. E rua kua tutuki, e toru e haere tonu ana.  

Te tūtohu rangahau ā-motu mō te whakatupu me te whakapakari ake i te reo Māori

Nā Te Kotahi Research Institute – Te Whare Wānanga o Waikato te pūrongo, ko Te Matataua o te Reo i tuhi. He kaupapa rangahau tēnei i kōmihanahia e Te Taura Whiri i te Reo Māori i runga i tōna kaupapa whakarauora i te reo Māori. Ko tā te rangahau nei he tuihono ki ngā momo rangapū reo Māori (ngā tāngata me ngā rōpū e kawe ana i ngā kaupapa whakarauora reo Māori, me te whakahauoratanga ake o te reo Māori); ki te tautohu hoki i ō rātou hiahia mō ā rātou rangahau, mātauranga ake, ngā aronga me ngā mahi tōmua e pā ana ki te whakahauoratanga me te whakarauoratanga o te reo Māori, tae atu ki ā rātou mahi rangahau kei te kawea e rātou me te whai wāhi atu ki ngā rauemi. Ko te whāinga matua o tēnei pūrongo kia riro anō mā tēnei mahi e waihanga  te Tūtohu Rangahau ā-Motu, ā, me te hanga i tētahi puna mātauranga mā ngā hapori reo Māori me te hunga e kawe ana i ngā kaupapa whakarauora reo Māori, rangahau anō hoki.

Te Matataua o te Reo

Te tāwaha rangahau

E kite mārire ana Te Taura Whiri i te Reo Māori i te wāhi nui ki te ao matihiko e tūhauora ai te reo Māori. Koinā i noho mai ai ki te pae tukutuku nei tētahi tāwaha rangahau, me kore e nui ake te matapaki, te whakawhiti whakaaro mō ngā mahi rangahau i waenga i ngā rōpū whai wāhi nui mai, manako nui mai ki ngā mahi whakaora reo.

Te Ahu o te Reo

E hura ana i te hauora o te reo ki roto i ngā kāinga me ngā hapori Māori

Kua oti ake i te  NZCER – Te Wāhanga tāna rangahau i te hauora o te reo Māori ki roto i ngā kāinga me ngā hapori. Ka hurahia e Te Ahu o te Reo ngā pēwheatanga ā-whānau ki roto i ngā hapori e iwa, e mahi ake ana ki te whakaū i te reo Māori kia mau, kia ora, kia noho hoki hei reo kōrerorero mō ia rā.

Ko ngā whakataunga rangahau a Te Ahu o te Reo ka tirohia mō te tukunga pūtea me te whakahaere hōtaka kia eke ai ki ngā tūmanako mō te reo Māori. He rārangi tūtohu ka puta hei whakamārama ake i ngā mahi a te kāwanatanga o te motu, me ngā kāwanatanga ā-rohe hoki, tae atu ki te wāhanga mātauranga me te wāhanga pāpāho.

Ka mahi tahi Te Taura Whiri nāna nei i utu te rangahau ki Te Mātāwai hei whakatutuki i ngā tūtohutanga.

Ka whakaputaina e mātou he rīpoata e āta whakaatu ana i ngā whakataunga mai o tēnā o tēnā o ngā hapori e iwa. Ka whakaatu ngā rīpoata i ngā wero me ngā whaihua i pā mai ki ngā whānau e whai ana i ō rātou moemoeā i ō rātou tūmanako hoki ki te pupuri, ki te whakarauora, ki te whakatau noa i te reo Māori ki roto o ia hapori.

Ko Te Ahu tēnei o te Reo Māori ki roto i te rautau 21 e haere ake nei. He mea āpiti ki te tino rangahau pūtake mō te reo Māori i whakahaeretia i te ngahuru tau 1970 e Richard rāua ko Nena Benton, i whakaatuna ai te ngaro tonutanga o te reo Māori puta noa i Aotearoa. O aua hapori i rangahautia rā e waru anō i uru mai ki Te Ahu o te Reo. Pānuitia he whakarāpopototanga mō te huarahi i whāia.

Ko te ingoa o te kaupapa nei hei tohu i ngā wā o mua, i ngā wā hoki o muri iho nei.

Nā Tākuta Patu Hōhepa tēnei kaupapa rangahau i tapa ko Te Ahu o te Reo. He ahunga rua hoki te tikanga o te ingoa nei, e tohu ake ana i ngā wā o mua. i ō muri iho nei hoki. E hāngai ana Te Ahu o te Reo ki te whakataukī nei, ‘Ko te reo te tūahu o te mana Māori’. Ka whakarite tēnei whakataukī i te reo Māori ki te tūahu inā hoki ōna take nui hei pou tikanga, hei taurima i ō tātou marae, hei pupuri i te mana Māori, i ā tātou tikanga me tō tātou rangatiratanga hoki. Ka hāngai ki te whakaaro kia whai wāhi nui rawa te reo Māori. Ā kei roto anō hoki i Te Ahu o te Reo te whakahau ki te titiro whakamua ki ngā rā e heke mai nei ka kōkiri whakamua ai ki te whakarauora i tō tātou reo. Ka whakaata ake hoki te ingoa nei i te hurihanga o te reo, i te wairua hoki o te whakataukī rā. He whakamāramatanga nō hea tātou, kei hea tātou, ā, ki hea tātou ahu atu ai mō te reo Māori.

Ko ngā Rohe

Kua mihia e Te Taura Whiri i te Reo Māori ngā nekehanga pūtea ki te whakarite i te pūtea tautoko haere tonu, haere tonu mō ngā mahi whakatakoto mahere reo, whakapiki hoki i te tokomaha o te hunga kaiwhakamāori whai tohu kaiwhakamāori ā-tuhi, ā-waha.

 I roto i Te Pūtea 2019, kua tohua he pūtea tāpiri o te $2.460 miriona ia tau, ia tau ki Te Taura Whiri, me te $1.5 miriona o taua pūtea he mea kua toha kē mai i ngā tau e rua kua taha ake nei, nā, ināianei kua whakaritea kia haere tonu.

E kī ana te Tumuaki o Te Taura Whiri a Ngahiwi Apanui, he mea rautaki te tahua.

“He mea tautoko e Te Taura Whiri te Whakamaheretanga Reo, engari ko ngā whakahaere, ko rātou kē te hunga kei te hanga i ngā mahere, ko rātou anō te hunga kei te whakatinana i aua tikanga. Kua oti i Te Rūnanga te whakatau hei te mutunga o te tau 2021 me whai mahere reo ngā tari kāwanatanga katoa. E tautokotia ana hoki e mātou ngā whakahaere rāngai hapori me ngā pūtahi i te rāngai tūmatanui whānui tonu.

“Ahakoa kāore ōna pūtea mō te ratonga whakamāori, ka whakatenatena tonu Te Taura Whiri i te hunga matatau ki te kōrero Māori, koia te paerewa e tino hiahiatia ana, kia eke ki ngā taumata e tika ana kia whakawhiwhia te tangata ki te tohu whakamāori ā-tuhi, ā-waha i raro i Te Ture mō te Reo Māori 2016.

“Tāria te wā ka piki te hiahia mō ngā ratonga whakamāori, mā mātou ngā paerewa e pupuri, e hāpai tonu. I roto i tōna whakarauoratanga he mea nui kia puritia te kounga o te reo Māori, kia mau, kia puāwai. E mātua whakarite ana ā mātou pūnaha whakamana tohu kaiwhakamāori ka tutuki tēnei.

“He tohu ēnei whakatau pūtea o te tīmatanga a te whakatinanatanga haere o te Rautaki reo Māori a te Karauna, te Maihi Karauna, he mea i whakaterea e te Minita Whanaketanga Māori a Nanaia Mahuta tata ki te tīmatanga o te tau. Ko tōna wairua, ko tōna koronga mō te tau 2040 ka eke ki te miriona tāngata, ngā tāngata nō Aotearoa e mōhio ana ki te kōrero Māori ki tōna taumata taketake.

“Kua tohua hoki i Te Pūtea tētahi paku pūtea mō te aromatawai me te arotake. Mā konei e whai mōhio ngā whakatau ki ngā rauemi e hiahiatia ana hei tautoko i te whakarauoratanga ā haere ake nei. 

“E mōhiotia ana te whakataukī “mā ōna hua ka mōhiotia te rākau” i te ao Māori, i te ao Pākehā hoki. Mōhio pai Te Taura Whiri ka tahuri mai te kāwanatanga, te iwi Māori, ka mutu, katoa mai, katoa mai e ngākaunui ana ki te reo ake o Aotearoa ki a mātou ki te kite he pēhea rā ngā hua. Kua titikaha te ngākau ki te kī atu, āe mārika, tareka ana".

Kōtahi rau anake ngā rā e toe ana i mua i Te Wiki o te Reo Māori 2019, 9-15 Mahuru.
E whakanui ana te wiki nei i te reo me tōna whakarauoratanga.

 E kī ana te Tumaki o Te Taura Whiri i te Reo Māori, a Ngahiwi Apanui, he kōwhiringa tēnei mō tātou katoa ki te mahi i tētahi mahi hei tautokoi i tō tātou reo taketake, he mea whakangākau mō ngāi Aotearoa.

“Ka whakaauautia anōtia te kaupapa o te wiki: ‘Kia Kaha te Reo Māori’. He kīanga rongonui ‘Kia Kaha’ ki ngā kaikōrero Māori, Pākehā hoki. I rangonatia whānuitia mai i te rautau 19, i roto i te haka nei: ‘Kia Kaha Ake, Ake, Ake’.

“E tohu hoki ana tēnei ki ngā tini āhuatanga e whakakaha ana i te reo Māori, ehara i te mea ko te mahi ako, ko te mahi kōrero noa iho.

“I tua atu, te whakatairanga i tona mana mā ngā tūmomo, ara, pērā i ngā tohu reorua, ko te whakakaha I te marama pū ki te whakarauora o te reo Māori, ka mutu, ko te whakatairanga i te hiring o te whai wāhi mai o ngā pakihi me nga whakahaere.

“I tō mahi, i tō rōpū, i tō kura, i tō hapori rānei – whakanui te reo Māori. Ahakoa iti, ākona, kōrerotia!

Iwa tekau noa iho ngā rā e toe ana i mua i Te Wiki o te Reo Māori 2019, 9-15 Mahuru.

E whakanui ana te wiki nei i te reo Māori me tōna whakarauoratanga.

E kī ana te Tumaki o Te Taura Whiri i te Reo Māori, a Ngahiwi Apanui, koinei te wā me tīmata te whakamahere.

“Ka whakaauautia anōtia te kaupapa o te wiki: ‘Kia Kaha te Reo Māori’. He kīanga rongonui a ‘Kia Kaha’ ki ngā kaikōrero Māori, Pākehā hoki. I rangona whānuitia i Aotearoa mai i te rautau 19, i roto i te haka nei: ‘Kia Kaha Ake, Ake, Ake’. 

I ngā tau tata nei kua whakatairangitia nuitia te wiki e ngā niupepa, ngā teihana whakaata, irirangi hoki. Ā he rite anō te tautoko i tēnei tau. Me moata te toro atu o ngā rōpū hapori e mahere ana ki ngā rōpū pāpāho. 

“E kiia ana mātou, ‘Ahakoa iti, ākona, kōrerotia!'

Kia whakarewa i tēnei mahi, anei ētahi kupu whakamahere

• Me aha tātou mō te Wiki o te Reo Māori?
• Me hono atu tātou ki te hīkoi whakanui i te reo Māori?

• Me kai hāngi tātou.
• Mēnā e pai ana ki a koe, me whakahaerehia he whakataetae pānui whakaahua.
• Me waiata tahi tātou i ia rā?
• Me whakatū e tātou he tohu pānui reo Māori
• Kia heke te utu mā ngā kiritaki kōrero Māori mai - ahakoa iti!
• Me ako tātou i ētahi kupu māmā i mua i te Wiki o te Reo Māori
• Ko te painga atu mehemea ka ako tātou i tōna o tātou ake pepeha, mihi rānei i mua i te Wiki o teReo Māori

Toro mai ki te pae tukutuku o Te Wiki o te Reo Māori hei kimi whakaaro whakatairanga i te reo Māori a te 9-15 Mahuru! 

E ai ki te Toihau o Te Taura Whiri i te Reo Māori, a Ahonuku Rāwinia Higgins, ki te raru te tangata ki ngā kaitākaro poitarawhiti e kōrero Māori ana, kia kaua rawa e aupēhi i ngā kaitākaro.

“I matekiri au i taku rāngona kua whakahēngia ngā kaitākaro nō Te Wharekura o Mauao mō te kōrero i te reo Māori, ina koa i ēnei rā kei te kaha ake te tautokona o te reo Māori e te marea.

“E matekiri ana i ēnei āhuatanga whakatakē e aro atu ana ki te reo, ki te pēnei hoki ki te hunga taiohi katahi ka hē kē atu.

“Mēnā he raru tō te tangata ki te whakamahinga o te reo Māori me kawe tōtika atu ki Te Taura Whiri i te Reo Māori.

“Waihoki, ki te rongo ngā kapa tauwhāinga i te whakatiki i te noho reo tōtahi, anei ētahi honongaitua ki ngā kīanga poitarawhiti i te reo Māori e kaha whakamahia ana:

Ko ngā Rohe

The Māori Language Commission has welcomed budget moves to provide on-going support for language planning and to increase the number of certified translators and interpreters.

Budget 2019 has allocated additional funding of $2.460m per year to the Commission, including $1.5 million already allocated in the past two years and now made on-going.

The Chief Executive of the Commission, Ngahiwi Apanui says the funding is strategic.

“Language Planning is something the Commission supports, but it is other organisations that actually make the plans and put them into practice. Cabinet has decided that by the end of 2021 all public service departments will have language plans. We are also supporting private and community sector organisations and agencies in the wider state sector.

“And while the Commission is not funded to provide a translation service, it is able to encourage more fluent speakers of Māori to reach the high standards required for certification as a translator or interpreter under the Māori Language Act 2016.

“We are expecting a big increase in demand for translation services and will be upholding standards. It is important that as the Māori language revitalises its quality is maintained and enhanced. Our systems to licensing translators ensures this.

“These funding decisions mark the beginning of the implementation of the Crown’s Māori Language Strategy announced by the Minister of Māori Development Nanaia Matuta earlier in the year. The intention is that by 2040 there will be a million New Zealanders able to speak Māori to at least a basic level.

“The budget has also made a small allocation for monitoring and evaluation. This will inform future decisions on the resources needed to support revitalisation.

“The proverb “the tree is known by its fruits” is well known in Māori and English. The Commission is conscious that the government, the Māori community and all who love New Zealand’s own language will be looking to us for results. We are confident we can deliver”.

There are just 100 days to go until Māori Language Week 2019, 9-15 September. The week celebrates the Māori language and its revitalisation.

Māori Language Commission Chief Executive Ngahiwi Apanui says it’s a chance for everyone to do something to support our own indigenous language and enjoy what it can add to our lives in Aotearoa.

“The theme for 2019 is being maintained as ‘Kia Kaha te Reo Māori’. ‘Kia Kaha’ is well known by both Māori and English speakers and came into popular, New Zealand wide, use in the 19^th century as part of the sports chant ‘Kia Kaha, Ake, Ake, Ake!’

“It also points to the fact that there are many things that strengthen te reo Māori – not just learning and using the language.

“As well, there’s a need to promote its status through things such as bilingual signage, and to build critical awareness of the revitalisation of the language and the importance of businesses and organisations taking part. 

“In your workplace, organisation, school or community group – celebrate te reo Māori. As we say ‘Ahakoa iti, akona, kōrerotia. Learn a little. Use a little!

There are just 90 days to go until Māori Language Week 2019, 9-15 September.

The week celebrates the Māori language and its revitalisation.

Māori Language Commission Chief Executive Ngahiwi Apanui says now is the time to start planning.

“The theme for 2019 is being maintained as ‘Kia Kaha te Reo Māori’. ‘Kia Kaha’ is well known by both Māori and English speakers and came into popular, New Zealand wide, use in the 19^th century as part of the sports chant ‘Kia Kaha, Ake, Ake, Ake!’

In recent years mainstream media have been big promoters of te reo Māori during the week and indications are there will again be strong support. Local groups planning activities should let media know ahead of time.

“As we say ‘Ahakoa iti, akona, kōrerotia. Learn a little. Use a little!

To get underway, here are a few planning phrases:

• What shall we do for Māori Language week?
• Shall we all join a Māori Language Week parade?

• Let’s have a hāngi lunch
• If you want, we could have a poster competition
• Should we  have a waiata session each day?
• We should put up Māori Language signs
• Let’s give a discount to customers who speak to us in Māori – even a little!
• Let’s learn some easy Māori words before Māori Language Week
• It would be really good if each of us learned our own pepeha or mihi before te Wiki o te Reo Māori

The Māori Language Commissioner Professor Rawinia Higgins says anyone with a problem about netball players speaking Māori shouldn’t take it out on the players.


“I was disappointed to hear that players from the Māori language school Te Wharekura o Mauao had been criticised for speaking Māori, particularly these days when there has been a concerted effort to support te reo.

“It is disappointing that there is an undercurrent of negativity towards the language, to direct this at young people is even worse.”

“If people have problems with the use of te reo Māori they should direct them to the Māori Language Commission.

“Meanwhile, if opposing teams feel disadvantaged as a result of monolingualism, here are some links to common te reo Māori netball terms:

Ko te whāinga o tēnei rangahau kia tino mārama ki ngā wheako o ngā kaikōrero Pākehā matatau ki te reo Māori.  Ahakoa te whānui o ngā tūmomo tāngata he nui ngā āhuatanga ōrite puta noa i te rōpū nei. He matatini ngā kitenga, ā, he wā anō he matarua pea te āhua. Kua kitea e te hunga nei ngā huarahi e taea ai ō tātou rā i raro i te ringa ‘atawhai’ o Peretania o mua, ō tātou rā hurihuri o nāianei, me ō tātou tūmanako mō ngā rangi e tū mai nei te kawe mā roto i ā rātou kupu, i ā rātou mahi anō hoki.

Ka matapaki i tēnei tuhinga te hīkoi o te reo Māori ki te Rōpū Whakamana i te Tiriti o Waitangi. Ka āta kōrerohia te rāngai pāpāho Māori me tōna whanaketanga. Ka kaha kōrerotia te hunga i whai wāhi nui atu, i whakapau werawera kia whai mana ai te reo ki te rāngai. Ka arotahi atu hoki ki tōna whanaketanga mai i te wā i whakamanatia ai te reo Māori ki te rāngai pāpāho.

Te Tai - Ngā Takinga Kōrero Reo Māori mō te WhakatauTe Tai - Ngā Takinga Kōrero Reo Māori mō te Whakatau

Kua mihia e Te Taura Whiri i te Reo Māori ngā nekehanga pūtea ki te whakarite i te pūtea tautoko haere tonu, haere tonu mō ngā mahi whakatakoto mahere reo, whakapiki hoki i te tokomaha o te hunga kaiwhakamāori whai tohu kaiwhakamāori ā-tuhi, ā-waha.

 I roto i Te Pūtea 2019, kua tohua he pūtea tāpiri o te $2.460 miriona ia tau, ia tau ki Te Taura Whiri, me te $1.5 miriona o taua pūtea he mea kua toha kē mai i ngā tau e rua kua taha ake nei, nā, ināianei kua whakaritea kia haere tonu.

E kī ana te Tumuaki o Te Taura Whiri a Ngahiwi Apanui, he mea rautaki te tahua.

“He mea tautoko e Te Taura Whiri te Whakamaheretanga Reo, engari ko ngā whakahaere, ko rātou kē te hunga kei te hanga i ngā mahere, ko rātou anō te hunga kei te whakatinana i aua tikanga. Kua oti i Te Rūnanga te whakatau hei te mutunga o te tau 2021 me whai mahere reo ngā tari kāwanatanga katoa. E tautokotia ana hoki e mātou ngā whakahaere rāngai hapori me ngā pūtahi i te rāngai tūmatanui whānui tonu.

“Ahakoa kāore ōna pūtea mō te ratonga whakamāori, ka whakatenatena tonu Te Taura Whiri i te hunga matatau ki te kōrero Māori, koia te paerewa e tino hiahiatia ana, kia eke ki ngā taumata e tika ana kia whakawhiwhia te tangata ki te tohu whakamāori ā-tuhi, ā-waha i raro i Te Ture mō te Reo Māori 2016.

“Tāria te wā ka piki te hiahia mō ngā ratonga whakamāori, mā mātou ngā paerewa e pupuri, e hāpai tonu. I roto i tōna whakarauoratanga he mea nui kia puritia te kounga o te reo Māori, kia mau, kia puāwai. E mātua whakarite ana ā mātou pūnaha whakamana tohu kaiwhakamāori ka tutuki tēnei.

“He tohu ēnei whakatau pūtea o te tīmatanga a te whakatinanatanga haere o te Rautaki reo Māori a te Karauna, te Maihi Karauna, he mea i whakaterea e te Minita Whanaketanga Māori a Nanaia Mahuta tata ki te tīmatanga o te tau. Ko tōna wairua, ko tōna koronga mō te tau 2040 ka eke ki te miriona tāngata, ngā tāngata nō Aotearoa e mōhio ana ki te kōrero Māori ki tōna taumata taketake.

“Kua tohua hoki i Te Pūtea tētahi paku pūtea mō te aromatawai me te arotake. Mā konei e whai mōhio ngā whakatau ki ngā rauemi e hiahiatia ana hei tautoko i te whakarauoratanga ā haere ake nei. 

“E mōhiotia ana te whakataukī “mā ōna hua ka mōhiotia te rākau” i te ao Māori, i te ao Pākehā hoki. Mōhio pai Te Taura Whiri ka tahuri mai te kāwanatanga, te iwi Māori, ka mutu, katoa mai, katoa mai e ngākaunui ana ki te reo ake o Aotearoa ki a mātou ki te kite he pēhea rā ngā hua. Kua titikaha te ngākau ki te kī atu, āe mārika, tareka ana".

Kōtahi rau anake ngā rā e toe ana i mua i Te Wiki o te Reo Māori 2019, 9-15 Mahuru.
E whakanui ana te wiki nei i te reo me tōna whakarauoratanga.

 E kī ana te Tumaki o Te Taura Whiri i te Reo Māori, a Ngahiwi Apanui, he kōwhiringa tēnei mō tātou katoa ki te mahi i tētahi mahi hei tautokoi i tō tātou reo taketake, he mea whakangākau mō ngāi Aotearoa.

“Ka whakaauautia anōtia te kaupapa o te wiki: ‘Kia Kaha te Reo Māori’. He kīanga rongonui ‘Kia Kaha’ ki ngā kaikōrero Māori, Pākehā hoki. I rangonatia whānuitia mai i te rautau 19, i roto i te haka nei: ‘Kia Kaha Ake, Ake, Ake’.

“E tohu hoki ana tēnei ki ngā tini āhuatanga e whakakaha ana i te reo Māori, ehara i te mea ko te mahi ako, ko te mahi kōrero noa iho.

“I tua atu, te whakatairanga i tona mana mā ngā tūmomo, ara, pērā i ngā tohu reorua, ko te whakakaha I te marama pū ki te whakarauora o te reo Māori, ka mutu, ko te whakatairanga i te hiring o te whai wāhi mai o ngā pakihi me nga whakahaere.

“I tō mahi, i tō rōpū, i tō kura, i tō hapori rānei – whakanui te reo Māori. Ahakoa iti, ākona, kōrerotia!
