This year, Te Wiki o te Reo Māori (Māori Language Week) is heading to your town!
Under the theme Ake, Ake, Ake – A Forever Language, the 2026 focus is Te Reo Towns – a celebration of the communities who have kept te reo Māori alive, and an invitation for all of Aotearoa to help it flourish into the future. Te Wiki starts on Monday 14th September 2026.
From homes where Māori has always been spoken, to communities beginning their reo journey, every town, street, workplace and marae has a role to play in the future of te reo Māori. Big city or small town, te reo Māori is for everyone.
Check out the week full of activities that MHJC will be running in celebration of Te Wiki o Te Reo Māori , and a video challenge for our whānau – Introduce yourself in Te Reo Māori !
