Polynesian language spoken by New Zealand MÄori

This week I got to have a conversation with Mark Barnard, an Anglican priest and educator from Auckland, New Zealand. Alongside his church leadership role, Mark is also employed by the Karuwhā Trust, an educational organisation focusing on telling New Zealand's bicultural story.This is an important conversation that explores engaging in indigenous thought well, addressing different ways of seeing the world and approaching spirituality. This is a conversation about thinking this through in a New Zealand context, but perhaps that allows for more scope of thought rather than feeling like we're being prescriptive. There are a couple of words that Mark uses quite a bit that might be helpful to know for the conversation- "Te Reo" refers to the Māori language, "tangata whenua" means “people of the land” and refers to Māori people, and "Pākehā" is the Māori word for those of European descent.

Te Taka Keegan, co-director Māori of the AI Institute at Waikato University, explores the intersection of Te Reo Māori, tikanga, and artificial intelligence. From training large language models to protecting Māori data sovereignty, Te Taka shares insights on how AI can be both a powerful tool and a cultural risk, and discusses the importance of Māori leadership in shaping Aotearoa's digital future. Te Taka is a keynote speaker at the HiNZ Digital Health AI Summit being held on May 20-21 in Wellington, NZ.
One of New Zealand's finest voices, Marlon Williams has released his fourth studio album – written entirely in te reo Māori. The Kiwi musician has a global presence, having collaborated with the likes of Florence + the Machine, and toured with legends like Bruce Springsteen, bagging six NZ Music Awards and an APRA silver scroll. But for ‘Te Whare Tīwekaweka', Williams returned to his roots. Translating to ‘Messy House', Williams told Jack Tame the title is a metaphor for the pains of chaos and creation, and how creativity often comes from disorder. “You have a house full of, of ideas, and, and you sort of sit quietly and let them talk to each other, and then hopefully they form some sort of cohesive thing.” The idea of writing an album entirely in te reo has been floating around Williams' brain for a while, he was just waiting for an excuse to begin. “I grew up speaking a little bit,” he told Tame. “I went to Kōhanga Reo, but it all sort of drifted away from me again as I went into my, moved on into childhood, into primary school.” Although he drifted away from speaking the language, Williams didn't stop singing in te reo. “It's just such a, a beautifully, a beautifully sung language.” “I always knew at some point that I was gonna come back around and, and give myself an excuse."

Tonight on The Huddle, Kiwiblog contributor and Curia pollster David Farrar and former Labour Chief of Staff Mike Munro joined in on a discussion about the following issues of the day - and more! The Government has announced some new measures designed to create more competition in the supermarket sector. Do we think this problem can be solved? Does New Zealand need a third operator? The cost of car insurance is going up so much that more owners are looking into third-party insurers to save money. Should we be concerned? Is there a risk more people will ditch insurance altogether? Te Pati Māori's Tākuta Ferris apologised for misleading the House - and delivered the apology in Te Reo.

There are now more te reo Maori speakers than ever before. Data from the 2023 Census shows that more than 200 hundred thousand people - or 4.3 percent of Kiwis - can hold a conversation in te reo. Nonetheless, advocates are concerned that as a percentage of the population, the growth of Maori speakers of te reo has slowed, Pokere Paewai reports.

Last week job cuts were confirmed at Whakaata Māori as part of ongoing budget cuts to the organisation. The national indigenous broadcaster is set to lose $10.3 million provided in the previous government's budget. The cuts have resulted in the probable axing of the broadcaster's TV bulletin, with a plan to move to online content by March of next year. In parliament Former Broadcasting Minister Willie Jackson pleaded with the government to invest in Whakaata Māori, calling the move yet another attack on Te Reo. The cuts come off the back of a tumultuous time for Aotearoa's media space, following the closure of Newshub and major cuts at TVNZ. Producer Evie spoke to the University of Auckland's Gavin Ellis about the cuts at Whakaata Māori, the effect they'll have on te ao Māori media, public access to news and the direction our media sector is moving in.
Just days after celebrating Maori language week, Te Wiki O Te Reo, the Government has decided to axe a $30 million dollar Maori language programme for teachers in schools. Te Ahu o Te Reo Maori is a programme which develops teacher competency in Te Reo. Education Minister Erica Sanford has today announced the funding will be cut and diverted into publishing maths workbooks instead. The teachers union said they fought hard for years to have the programme which helped teachers understand the language, tikanga and Te Ao Maori and getting rid of the funding is a mistake, President of the NZEI, Mark Potter spoke to Susana Lei'ataua.
Te Pāti Māori has warning the Government of the 'wrath of the million Māori' after a $30 million cut to a programme for teachers to learn te reo Māori. It follows a South Auckland principal teacher's union slamming the Government's decision to cut funding to a programme for teachers to learn te reo Māori. ZB senior political correspondent Barry Soper says Te Pāti Māori co-leader Rawiri Waititi has branded this the latest move in a series of 'attacks' on te iwi Māori.

The Government's re-prioritising funding from an unaccredited te reo programme for teachers into new maths curriculum resources and teacher guidance. The Education Minister says there's no evidence the te reo programme directly helped student achievement, and it's more than double the cost of similar courses. Primary teachers can select resources this year for delivery in term 1. Erica Stanford told Mike Hosking they always knew they had to provide high-quality resources like lesson plans and workbooks for the new maths curriculum. She says many schools who can afford them already buy them, they're now making them free of charge for every child in every school. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Mahi, chilly bin and waka jumping, are among the selection of New Zealand terms added to the Oxford dictionary this week. Maori language advocates are welcoming the inclusion of Te Reo phrases like tikanga and kapa haka. But one new addition, Aotearoan, has not met universal approval, Felix Walton reports.
One of the new initiatives for this year's Wiki o te Reo Maori is Waha Kōrero - a speech competition aimed at intermediate and advanced speakers. With the winner taking home a $10,000 cash prize and the mana of placing first, some of nation's best speakers will descend on Te Whanganui a Tara this weekend to flex their Te Reo muscles, Pokere Paewai reports.

NANCY LU to the Minister of Finance: What recent announcements has she made about support for families? Hon BARBARA EDMONDS to the Minister of Finance: Does she stand by her statement she would "make good economic decisions so people can actually see better prospects in New Zealand, that's essentially our mission"; if so, why have a new record of net 55,800 Kiwis moved overseas in the year ended July 2024?

Dr PARMJEET PARMAR to the Minister for Workplace Relations and Safety: What changes has she recently announced about improving certainty for those in contracting relationships?

Does he agree with the chief executive of Whakaata Maori, who said the funding changes for Whakaata Maori were the result of "shifting government policies"; if so, is he comfortable that Government policies are resulting in the Te Reo television channel becoming online-only and reduced investment in Maori content?
While Te Ao Māori mourns the loss of a King, those who've been able to grieve in person have witnessed some of the finest te reo Māori ever displayed. Tuwhenuaroa Natanahira reports.
Inevitably, the Aussies have picked up on the slur from Chris Luxon, where he said when talking to Aussies - it pays to be ‘incredibly simple'. And they seem to be largely taking in the spirit it's intended, which is just a bit of humour. And it also means Luxon's play worked. Which is - by having a crack at the Aussies to distract us from the actual issue, which is Paul Goldsmith taking Māori words out of the Matariki invitation.Look, let's get to the heart of this, this was a dumb thing for Paul Goldsmith to do. Yeah, I get he might want an invitation from him to be authentic to him and if he doesn't make a habit of going around using Māori words in a tokenistic fashion to show off his inclusivity credentials, then sure, he might want to take out the Te Reo and replace it with English - fair enough.But Paul Goldsmith is going have start being a little bit smarter and strategic about this, because this Government doesn't need a petty issue like this on race relations to deal with. It has got enough going on as it is. A lot of what the Government's doing on race relations is worthy and does need to be done. Repealing the Māori wards, tidying up the Treaty Principles, halting co-governance, putting an end to certain ethnicities getting priority surgery - and they can defend that stuff quite easily on democratic and equal rights grounds.But when Paul Goldsmith does something like taking Māori words out of an invitation - although it may be true to his way of speaking - what he does is he makes this democratic and equal rights reset just look like an anti Māori thing for some people. Now to be fair to him, he's not the only minister who's been caught fighting petty battles like this, he's just the latest.But it would pay for these guys the next time they want to take Māori words out of a document to really think about whether that, if leaked, is something they want to add to the Government's race relations agenda. Because there is a very fine line between appearing to be for equal rights and appearing to be just anti-everything Māori. And frankly, there are much more important things going on in this country right now. An energy crisis, a possible recession, a massive problem in health - just to name a few. But what are we going to remember about this week? Paul Goldsmith's invitation. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Claimants today at the Waitangi Tribunals inquiry accused the government of gaslighting Maori through its Te Reo policy, something lawyers for the Crown have denied, Pokere Paewai reports.
The Waitangi Tribunal will hear closing submissions today in the inquiry into Te Reo in the Public Sector. Tuwhenuaroa Natanahira reports.
People working inside the public sector are fearful of speaking te reo Maori in case they're reprimanded, according to one iwi leader speaking at the urgent inquiry into Te Reo in the public sector, Pokere Paewai reports.
Here is an insight into why bits of Wellington are not like the rest of the country. There is pushback from Whaikaha. Who are Whaikaha? They are the Ministry of Disabled People. Under the new Government, names were to be restored to English. Why? Because very few people speak Māori and, as such, most of us had no clue as to what a lot of these renamed groupings did, or who they once were. Waka Kotahi and Oranga Tamariki over time became possible exceptions because they got used so often, given their status in the news. He Waka Eke Noa, I bet you still don't have a clue as to what it means, despite the fact it was a very important document dealing with one of the great issues of the age and one of our most important sectors. Anyway, all of this nonsense was going to stop when the new Government arrived because it was a major part of all their campaigns. In another sign that despite the initial angst they actually have quite a bit in common, all three parties agreed that this obsession with Māori language needed to end. Except a couple of things happened. The main one being that it didn't change. The Government dragged the chain, sort of like the councils who are still insisting on mass lowering of speed limits until the new law is passed. In that sense, this Government has been taken for a ride, and that is reputational. Now the Ministry of Disabled People is pushing back on Whaikaha. They claim they have a unique whakapapa. And that is what is wrong with Wellington. Given all the ministry is going through of late, is it not astonishing they have time for this sort of debate? It's almost as though they have too many people. A ministry's job, the public services job, is to work for the Government of the day. The Government of the day are very clear on this particular matter. What is it about the public service that makes them think they are there to tell us what's right and how we are wrong? Do you think, given they behave that way, they might just be shooting themselves in the foot a bit when it comes to wider sympathy for their job retention plight?

Trigger Warning: Death by misadventure, and an execution by guillotine. I make no concessions for calling Aotearoa… Aotearoa. I mention this as in Aotearoa (New Zealand) news sites are having to shut down comment sections on Maori language, Maori achievement and Maori culture over racist morons getting upset by this news. If the use of Te Reo names over those of colonizers upsets you, this show really isn't for you… This week is a bit of a departure from my regular plan. I'm still working on the episode planned for this spot, so put a triptych of shorter tales together. First, we meet Harold Davidson - the Vicar of Stiffkey. A man well known in Britain's newspapers in the 1930s, who, if he was remembered today would probably be known for something else entirely. Then we briefly meet Polynesia's great navigators. And finally we discuss Father of modern Chemistry Antoine Lavoisier's final experiment. Sources Include: Sorry all, I'm running late this week and will backfill this later. Harold Davidson's tale came to me years ago via Mike Dash's original blog site - and this is one of a number of pieces no longer up - but it is preserved on the Wayback Machine -so I'll link to it. Michael King's The Penguin History of New Zealand, and several articles on NZ History's site and Te Ara, the Encyclopaedia of New Zealand were used in The Navigators. The Lavoisier piece is an old blog piece jumbled together from a bunch of sources, I don't recall all of them, but will take a shot at finding them on the weekend.

Demand for intensive week-long full immersion Reo courses has soared, with a record number held in the last year.

The Prime Minister's speech seems to have done little to soothe anxieties at Waitangi. Chris Luxon and his delegation of National, ACT and New Zealand First MPs gave addresses at the Treaty Grounds today. Tensions are high over ACT's Treaty Principles Bill, which has coalition support to select committee stage. ZB senior political reporter Sophie Trigger says interestingly - Luxon's speech totally shied away from addressing the legislation.

Waikato-Tainui is taking the Government to the High Court over its policy to roll back te reo Māori in the public sector. Iwi members have filed legal action in Wellington against the move, which they believe breaches their 1995 Raupatu treaty settlement outlining the protection of te reo Māori. In a statement, Treaty Negotiations Minister Paul Goldsmith said the Government takes treaty matters seriously and will honour existing treaty settlements, and want to resolve outstanding settlements. Tauranga-based iwi Ngai Te Rangi has also made a claim to the Waitangi Tribunal, accusing the government of attacking Māori culture and language Iwi members travelled with Tainui to Wellington to support their court action. Waikato-Tainui kaikorero Tukoroirangi Morgan spoke with Charlotte Cook.
Prime Minister Christopher Luxon is defending using taxpayer money to pay for his te reo Maori lessons when in Opposition. Mr Luxon has recently been critical of public servants being paid to learn the language and receiving bonuses for being proficient in it. Speaking to reporters at his post-cabinet press conference, Mr Luxon says people should be encouraged to learn Te Reo. Christopher Luxon has confirmed he will fly to Australia on Wednesday, his first overseas engagement since taking office. He will meet with Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese in Sydney and the pair are expected to discuss security, defence and the Indo-Pacific region.
The Prime Minister is in hot water over getting taxpayer funded te reo Māori tuition while at the same time planning to axe allowances for public servants who speak the language. Christopher Luxon received lessons funded by the Leader of the Opposition budget. But he says 'in the real world' people who want to learn te reo pay for it themselves. The Taxpayers' Union Campaigns Manager Connor Molloy spoke to Ingrid Hipkiss.
The government has softened its stance on wanting to end extra pay for public service employees who are fluent in te reo Māori. Some public service workers are eligible for allowances of up to $3,500 per year, depending on their proficiency in te reo. Public Service Minister Nicola Willis says National doesn't support the bonuses, and wouldn't have implemented them, but has little choice but to keep them when they're listed in collective agreements. She clarified on Wednesday that the government is opposed only when speaking te reo isn't relevant to the job. The Māori Language Commission, Te Taura Whiri, says it would be a great shame for the allowances to end. Māori Language Commission chief executive Ngahiwi Apanui spoke to Corin Dann.
A family from the far north has travelled to Rarotonga as they fight to preserve their language learn more about their ancestors. Ngā Tamariki Mānihera is a music performance group. They homeschool their kids who speak fluent Te Reo Maori. Lydia Lewis caught up with them while they were in Rarotonga.
A linguistic conundrum has emerged at Parliament over a Māori translation of the name "Charles". Te Pāti Māori MPs referred to the monarch as "Kīngi Harehare" during their swearing in on Tuesday, despite the oath requiring them to say "Kīngi Tiāre." The problem? Harehare also means 'something objectionable' or 'skin rash' It's prompted suggestions it's time to update the oath. Political reporter Giles Dexter has more.
The new government wants to stop any more public servants getting extra pay for being skilled in te reo Māori. More than a dozen ministries and departments pay bonuses of up to $3,500 a year depending on how fluent a person is. Public Service Minister Nicola Willis concedes it can't dump the existing agreements but wants to put a halt to any future ones. She declined to come on the programme. Reporter Phil Pennington spoke to Corin Dann.
