University of Auckland Library

Te Wiki o te Reo Māori (Māori Language Week) is held from 14-21 September. The theme for 2024 is 'Ake ake ake – A forever language', symbolising the resilience, adaptability and endurance of our language. It also reflects the commitment of New Zealanders to embrace and learn te reo Māori long into the future.

To celebrate, we have a special display on view from from 12-21 September, highlighting the diversity of te reo Māori books within our Mātauranga Māori Collection.

Nau mai, haere mai to Level One Pacific Space, Te Herenga Mātauranga Whānui | General Library to explore pūrākau (stories), kōrero tuku iho (oral histories), and kaupapa Māori resources that celebrate and nurture our reo.

Manuhiri Huatahi was 12 when she first told her family she wanted to learn te reo Māori, even though languages like French and Spanish were more accessible. It’s one of many hurdles she’s faced – and overcome - on her te reo Māori journey, which now involves helping others learn the language as a Kaiārahi at the University of Auckland’s new ReoSpace.
