Te Wiki o te Reo Māori celebrates 50 yearsSunday marked the start of Te Wiki o te Reo Māori and, this year, the kaupapa celebrates its 50th anniversary. Aotearoa celebrated its first Māori Language Day in 1972, following a petition signed by more than 30,000 people calling for te reo Māori to be taught in schools. By 1975, the day had grown into a week-long event, and since then Te Wiki o te reo Māori has become one of the most recognised public celebrations and nationwide movements in the country.

Honestly, if you are such a cracker honky that hearing te reo spins you out, you need a large cannabis cigarette to chill out.
