Every year since 1975 New Zealand has marked Māori Language Week. This is a time for all New Zealanders to celebrate te reo Māori (the Māori language) and to use more Māori phrases in everyday life.
Tōku reo, tōku ohooho, tōku reo, tōku mapihi maurea
My language is my awakening, my language is the window to my soul.
