Te Reo Maori ~ Happy Maori Language Week :)
Today at 12pm as a school we decided to sing a couple songs in Maori as it is Maori Language week. We sang to celebrate being able to speak Te Reo Maori again! We did this because...
On the 14th of September, 1972, People in New Zealand who are Maori, started a Petition, fighting to able speak their native language. Signatures were sent to the government in parliament to save Maori Language from being forgotten. Before 1972, speaking in Te Reo was forbidden to speak. Forcing people to speak english. As they followed the rules and the law, people forgot their native language: Maori. Maori people weren't able to pass their language down to the next generation, causing Te Reo Maori to decline.
