Hari Te Wiki o te Reo Maaori e hoa maa! We celebrated 50 years of Te Wiki o te Reo Māori with Te Waiata Nui in the Marae Atea. Led by local legend Harley Pitihira with actions by Moananui Davis, we sang Anoo Te Pai by Paturihi Tuuhakaraina. If you missed out, you can sing along and learn the actions at home. Anoo Te Pai (Kaiaarahi): Hei ora mo ake tonu e! Anoo te pai! Hei ora moo ake tonu e Anoo te pai, te aahuareka e Te nohonga o ngaa teeina O ngaa tuaakana, kotahi ana raa I runga i te ara pai

Join us as we celebrate 50 years of Te Wiki o te Reo Māori! Here at Te Whare Taonga o Ngāti Tūmatauenga Te Mata Toa, we tautoko the legacy of a single day 50 years ago that had big dreams. Grown out of social activism, there is now a lasting kaupapa where the beauty and richness of Te Reo Māori is honoured, learned, and shared. Come for a look inside the Museum with SGT Lee from the New Zealand Army as we embrace the culture and language that make Aotearoa New Zealand so special. Kia māhorahora
