Māori Language Week 2009
Since 1975 New Zealand has celebrated Māori Langauge Week. This is an opportunity for all New Zealanders to increase their Māori Language vocabulary and appreciate one of its county’s official languages.
Tōku reo, tōku ohooho
Tōku reo, tōku mapihi maurea
Tōku reo, tōku whakakai marihi...
My language is a gift..
