Te Āti Awa, Taranaki Whānui, Ngāti Toa Rangatira and Wellington City Council present
Te Hui Ahurei Reo Māori o Te Whanganui-a-Tara
He kaupapa whakanui tēnei i te huringa tau 50 o te Petihana reo Māori. He mea tuku te petihana reo Māori e Hana Te Hemara, he mea tautokona e Te Reo Māori Society o Te Whare Wānanga o Wikitōria rātou ko Ngā Tamatoa o Te Whare Wānanga o Tāmaki i te 14 o ngā rā o Hepetema. Mō te oranga tonutanga o te reo te take. Nau mai rarau mai ki Te Ahurei Reo Māori o Te Whanganui-a-Tara. Hei te marama o Hepetema tū ai ētehi whakaaturanga whakangahau, puta noa i Te Whanganui-a-Tara, hei kaupapa whakanui anō i te reo Māori. Nā Mere Boynton, ko te Kaihautū Ngā Toi Māori o Tāwhiri, te hōtaka i whakarite. Nau mai, haere mai!
Te Hui Ahurei Reo Māori o Te Whanganui-a-Tara (The Māori Language Festival of Wellington) celebrates the 50th anniversary of the Māori language petition. The petition was delivered to Parliament by Hana Te Hemara with support from Te Reo Māori Society of Victoria University and Ngā Tamatoa of The University of Auckland on 14 September 1972. It called for the revitalisation of the Māori language. Te Hui Ahurei is one of the ways that Te Whanganui a Tara is commemorating this important kaupapa, through a joyful series of arts experiences that champion te reo Māori in the City. Join us!
