Hurō 🥳 This year, Aotearoa will celebrate the 50th anniversary of Te Wiki o te Reo Māori, one of the nation’s most celebrated public events.
Born of activism, Te Wiki began as a single Māori Language Day in 1972. The idea of expanding to a full week was seeded in 1974, and by 1975, Te Wiki had found its footing 🌱 This year we ask New Zealanders not just to celebrate, but to recommit. Make te reo Māori a part of your daily life. In your home, your school, your workplace. Every word counts.
This year, Te Wiki takes place from 14–20 September 2025, and there is something on offer for everyone, including:
🏆 50 Wero Reo Māori – Challenge yourself and give our list of 50 reo challenges a go!
⏳ Pūtahi Mahara – Be part of history by contributing to our reo Māori digital time capsule!
🌀 Heia tō ihi, heitiki! – Wear and share the heitiki with pride on social media.
🛍️ New merch drop coming - In partnership with The Warehouse, our next drop of Kia Kaha te Reo Māori kākahu and merch will be ready for Te Wiki!
❤️🖤🤍 Hīkoi mō te Reo – Join us on the Wellington Waterfront to celebrate te reo Māori!
Te Taura Whiri will be releasing more details of the 50th anniversary campaign events, resources, and content in the lead-up to the official week in September - check out www.reomaori.co.nz.
