Māori language revitalisation

Māori language revitalisation involves efforts to preserve, promote, and increase the use of te reo Māori, the indigenous language of New Zealand. This movement aims to ensure the language remains vibrant, respected, and accessible amidst global and national influences that have historically marginalized it. Strategies include language education in schools, broadcasting Māori content, encouraging use within communities, and official recognition through policies and legislation. These initiatives help strengthen cultural identity, honor Māori heritage, and foster a sense of pride and connection among Māori and New Zealanders alike.
