Are you up for the reo Māori Challenge?
Naumai hoki mai anō ki Mahuru Māori.
In line with our maramataka Māori, next year Mahuru Māori starts on Friday 15 September 2023.
It doesn’t matter whether your reo skills stop at kia ora, or you can whaikōrero on the marae with the best of them, Mahuru Māori is something we can all do.
So jump on the waka e hoa mā, and let’s give Mahuru Māori our best shot.
Here’s our Poutiaki Reo/Tikanga Lyndsay Te Puaheiri Snowden with some more words of encouragement.

How it works
It can be anything that makes you speak more Māori. An hour a day, half the day, all day every day, or as a beginner just start with greeting and farewells in Māori.
2. Get your mates involved
Get a team of friends, family or workmates involved and plan some virtual catch ups. You’ll have more fun, stay motivated and feel more comfortable in the reo zone.
3. Speak te reo Māori
Speak te reo Māori as much as you can during Mahuru. Every time you do, you’re revitalising te reo and breathing life back into our native tongue. Be brave, be bold and be patient.
We're taking the Mahuru Challenge. Will You?
Comes and goes this greeting to the enthusiasts, you the group who exhaust ones energy so that our esteemed language does not die, acknowledgements to you all. Welcome again to our intiative thus truly appeasing the Māori heart, at the same time the month of Mahuru continues to be Māori.

Karakia
Often the understanding and
meaning of karakia is in
connection with te taiao (the
natural environment). This can
be seen in the following
karakia:
Whakataka Te Hau
Whakataka te hau ki te uru
Whakaaka te hau ki te tonga
Kia mākinakina ki uta
Kia mātaratara ki tai.
E hī ake ana te atākura he tio,
he huka,
he hauhunga
Haumi e! Hui e! Tāiki e!
Get ready for the westerly and be
prepared for the southerly
It will be icy cold inland and icy cold on the shore
May the dawn rise red-tipped on ice,
on snow, on frost
Join! Gather! Intertwine! (Williams, 2019)

Te Taura Whiri i te Reo Māori launched the Stories of Te Reo website in 2022. It features a timeline that charts pivotal moments of the Māori language and invites New Zealanders to share their journeys of learning te reo Māori.
Stories of Te Reo isn’t just about sharing your stories, it’s also helpful for teachers working on lesson plans on New Zealand history. 👩🏫
Tauira can also use the interactive platform to learn more about the battle for te reo Māori.
We also invite all schools to record and share their stories of te reo Māori #reomāori #kura #kaiako #storiesoftereo
