Podcasts about te reo maori

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."

Sarah and I had the honour of chatting with Jake Kiano Skinner who is of Ngāti Rangitihi & Tūhoe lineage and is a Sound weaver, Taonga Pūoro musician, Composer, Papa to two gorgeous wee girls.  This episode really is a koha - a gift to us, the listeners. If you are a New Zealander then it offers us deep insight into the land we live on, its history, and our part within it. And if you are outside of NZ, then wow - what insight and education you are likely to receive into Te Ao Maori - the Maori worldview, and the stunning ways in which embracing it can help us to heal.  We korero in particular in this episode about taongo puoro - traditional maori instruments - and their unique and profound way in which immersion in the sound of these instruments can take us on a journey to dreamstates, to a deep deep connection with papatuanuku - our earth mother, and ultimately to a state of healing.  We dive into Jake's relationship with these instruments and how it has evolved, how he holds space for healing through sound, and balancing and honouring culture, tradition, and modern boundary pushing and new creation. We also explore our relationship in and with nature, the practice of deep listening, and the importance of cultivating a sense of curiosity, openheartedness and aroha in relationships. And all with a yogic lens, of course, with insights and reflections into how yoga asana echoes and supports the self inquiry and self healing we unpack in this chat.  Jake uses te reo maori (the indigenous language of our land) and english interchangeably throughout this conversation - I encourage you to lean in to this, to allow the words and phrases you don't understand on an intellectual level to wash over you energetically instead, and to please feel free to reach out and connect if you have any questions or clarification needed. Te Reo Maori really is a beautiful language to listen to - so enjoy soaking it up in this episode :)

The New Zealand Nurses Organisation says Waikato hospital's English language mandate for nurses in clinical settings reeks of systemic racism. In a statement Director of Operations for Waikato, Michelle Sutherland said speaking English in a clinical environment is standard practice and a requirement from the Nursing Council of New Zealand. This memo was sent out to nursing staff to help reduce confusion and ensure clarity and consistency within patient care, particularly during shift changes. NCNZ recognises English, Te Reo Maori and New Zealand Sign Language as official languages, and these are acceptable in many other contexts, especially when communicating with patients who use these languages. Health NZ strongly encourages bilingualism to support culturally responsive care. We have recruited a significant number of internationally qualified nurses, and we are extremely grateful for the contribution they make to our workforce.

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.

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.

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.

Early NZ missionary Thomas Kendall arrived in London in 1820 with the Ngapuhi Rangatira Hongi Hika. He would return to Aotearoa a year later with the first ever written dictionary of Te Reo Maori, a newly won clerical collar ...and about 300 muskets.

The Olympics are just under two weeks away and a new bilingual sporting resource will help people cheering along in te reo. Te Reo Maori ki Pari 2024 is the first Olympic Games glossary in Maori and English, and features more than 1000 terms and phrases across 30 sporting codes. New Zealand Olympic Committee's Maori Culture Lead Oriini Kaipara spoke to Ingrid Hipkiss.

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.

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.

Once again we ask the question: who is paying for the Waitangi Tribunal?  How much of it is what you would loosely call value for money?  There is a new urgent hearing this week. It is to do with the new Government's promise to have non-Māori Government departments use English for their name. Think the NZTA and the Ministry of Education.  The argument brought forward by a Tauranga iwi is this does harm to te reo.  A small irony so far, is it doesn't seem to many that the instruction had been sent out at all.  The waters were somewhat muddied when it was suggested that Oranga Tamariki might keep their name as well as Kainga Ora, given they were the names most of us knew the department by.  How they came up with that I don't know. I assume they meant that given those two departments in particular had spent a lot of time in the news, the commonality of the reference might have stuck.  Which, if you think about it, was sort of the idea in the first place.  Having the vast majority of us exposed to another language, especially an official language, may help the language live, breathe and expand.  But what also happened is Māori terms, names, and phrases got tossed about with mad abandon and muddied the waters of comprehension.  The media have, broadly speaking in a fit of wokeism, embarrassed themselves and in part further damaged their already damaged reputations by embracing the activity with an alacrity that has been humiliating.  Tokenism is not language, but tokenism is what you get in news bulletins; a peppering of Māori with the English that leads to nothing more than a trendy nod to a fad.  But it's a national crisis, apparently, so much taxpayer money must once again be dispersed to lawyers and full-time agitators to, once again, front the tribunal, who will write their usual report, which will be treated in the usual way.  What's the Māori word for bin?     See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

They all represent thresholds in his life. The body of work, Elevation, is on at the 2024 Adelaide Biennial of Australian Art. 

The government has partially walked back comments that it's looking to put a stop to bonuses for public servants proficient in te reo Māori. Public Services Minister Nicola Willis told RNZ she was asking for advice on halting the remuneration for fluency policy yesterday. She's now changed her tune. More than a dozen state agencies pay te reo allowances between $500 and $3,500 per year. In 1984 Dame Naida Glavish was a toll operator at the post office and was threatened with the sack because she greeted callers with "kia ora". She refused to back down and at the time support came from an unexpected quarter. She's unimpressed with the government's take on te reo payments.

National's Transport spokesperson Simeon Brown has claimed these changes will be 'confusing'. Do we approve of these changes? Police have released a new framework for dealing with fleeing drivers, claiming it factors in the threat posed by the driver, their suspected offence - and the chance they'll commit more offending or harm. Will these help the police send a message to criminals?

Hundreds gathered on Wednesday morning to protest the mayor of Kaipara banning karakia in council meetings. The protests in Dargaville happened today, despite mayor Craig Jepson changing his stance on karakia in council meetings. He now permits them at the opening and closing of meetings. One of the protest organisers, Paturiri Toautu says he was happy with today's turnout, as he worked hard to get the word out to a wide range of people. He believed this protest was necessary, despite Craig Jepson reversing his stance. "What people don't understand is that karakia belongs to tikanga Maori, it belongs to us as Maori. And it's also basically the only tikanga Maori that we had. We had that one minute karakia in Te Reo Maori and that's all we had." LISTEN ABOVE  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On a cold September 14th 1972, Hana Te Hemara and a group of elders and language champions marched on parliament, presenting the petition signed by 33 thousand Maori and Pakeha, and calling for the introduction of Maori language and culture in schools nationwide. By that time, te reo Maori was in grave danger of dying out, but the actions of the petitioners sparked change - kohanga reo, kura kaupapa, wananga followed, and Te Reo Maori became an official language. Kathryn speaks with Midday Report Presenter, Mani Dunlop at parliament, and Hana Te Hemara's great niece, Hana-Rawhiti Maipi-Clarke, who is speaking at the commemoration.
