This week we have been celebrating Te Wiki o te reo Māori. It is 51 years since the Māori Language Petition was presented to Parliament on 14 September 1972. The petition played a significant role beginning the revitalisation of te reo Māori by calling for the government to recognise te reo as a taonga in Aotearoa New Zealand.
