Are you up for the reo Māori Challenge?

Naumai hoki mai anō ki Mahuru Māori. 

In line with our maramataka Māori, this year Mahuru Māori starts on Monday 2 September 2024.

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.

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.

We’re all taking this year’s Mahuru Māori challenge. The aim is to learn and gain the confidence to speak te reo Māori in our everyday lives. Some of us are just beginning, others will immerse themselves all day long, everyday. Read more of our stories here.

Mahuru this year according to maramataka Māori begins on 02 September 2024

Last week, Rua passed through Ōtautahi (Christchurch), and guess what? 

We’ve got some more reo Māori insight for you! 😉

One of the more popular Māori names for Christchurch is Ōtautahi, which means “the place of Tautahi.” Kāi Tahu Research Centre director, Te Maire Tau, explains the name comes from Tautahi, the son of Kāi Tahu chief Huikai of Port Levy 🏞️ 

The name ‘Ōtautahi’ was first popularised as a name for Christchurch in the 1930s by Kāi Tahu leader Te Aritaua Pītama. However, some people also use ‘Karaitiana’ for Christchurch, a loanword for ‘Christian.’

Kua mutu te Matataki Mahuru Māori. 

Kei runga noa atu ngā tangata katoa i hiki ake i te taki, ka mihia hoki ērā i whakaatu mai i ngā akoranga i a rātou i te Mahuru nei. 

Ahakoa he tau Mahuru Māori anō kua hikina ake, kōrerotia tonutia te reo Māori, kia tipu, kia whanake, kia puāwai. 

Ā kāti hoki, tēnā kōrero mai! 

Mahia mai te arotake nei, ā, whākina mai ō whakaaro mō ō wheako Mahuru Māori. Mā ōu whakaaro mātou e tiaki ai mō te anamata. 

The Mahuru Māori Challenge has officially come to an end. 

Well done to everyone who participated and thank you to those who shared with us what they learnt throughout Mahuru. 

Although Mahuru Māori is over for another year, continue to kōrero Māori and help te reo Māori thrive. 

And lastly, we want to hear from you! 

Complete our survey and share your thoughts on your Mahuru Māori experience. Your feedback will help us improve for the future.
