The initiative of Mahuru Māori is a reo challenge that came about as a personal social experiment by Paraone Gloyne in 2014 as a way of broadcasting te reo, and normalising it in every day dealings. So the challenge is that Māori be used for communication (spoken, written, sung, everything that’s coming from you is to be Māori) for the month of September, regardless of who you speak to, where you speak it, and when you speak it, you speak only Māori. In that, we’ve taken up this opportunity to shake up our Wānanga o Aotearoa staff to take up te reo rangatira, and put it out to the world.
