Te Wiki O Te Reo Mori – Kia Rongohia Tō Reo


E whakanui ana Te Kaitiaki Take Kōwhiri i Te Wiki o te Reo Māori.

Ko te kaupapa 'kina te reo', he whakamahi i te reo Māori hei tautoko i te tangata, hei whakahihiri, hei āki hoki.

E whakatenatena ana Te Kaitiaki Take Kōwhiri i te iwi o Aotearoa ki te tautoko i ō rātau hapori me te whakaputa whakaaro mō ngā take waihanga i tō rātau anamata.

"He āhuatanga nui Te Wiki o te Reo Māori hei whakamahi i tō reo me te kōrero i te reo. Ko te hiahia kia whakamahia e te katoa ō rātau mō ngā take e whai pānga ki ō rātau ao me ō rātau whānau," te kī a piha Pōti Matua a Robert Peden.

Mā te rēhita ki te rārangi pōti te mahi tuatahi e uru atu ai koe ki ngā whakahaere whakatau. I mua, he tino iti ake te rēhita me te whai wāhi a te Māori ki ngā pōtitanga i ngā te taupori iwi kē.

"Kei te hiahia Te Kaitiaki Take Kōwhiri i te huri i tēnei, me te whakatenatena i te katoa ki kōrero whānui mō te hiranga o te rēhita ki te pōti i waenga i ō rātau whānau, hapori hoki," te kī a Mr Peden.

Ko ngā pōtitanga kaunihera ā-rohe te wā pai rawa mōu ki te whakaputa i ō whakaaro mō te hunga e whakahaere ana i tō kaunihera, tō poari hauora ā-rohe hoki. Kei a rātau ngā whakatau mō ngā mea pēnei i te taiao o te rohe, ngā rēti, tūnga waka, para, ngā pāka me ngā ratonga hauora. He māmā te rēhita ki te pōti – haere ki elections.org.nz, patowaea koreutu i tō ingoa me tō wāhi noho ki 3676, waea atu ki 0800 36 76 56 haere rānei ki tētahi PostShop.

MORI LANGUAGE WEEK – MAKE YOUR VOICE HEARD

The Electoral Commission celebrates Te Wiki o te Reo Māori, Māori Language Week.

The theme ‘kina te reo – behind you all the way’ is about using te reo Māori to support people, to inspire and to cheer on.

The Electoral Commission is encouraging New Zealanders to support their communities and use their voices to have a say on the issues that will shape their future.

“Te Wiki o te Reo Māori is a great chance to use your voice and speak te reo. We also want everyone using their voices on the decisions that affect their lives and the lives of their whānau,” says Chief Electoral Officer Robert Peden.

Getting on the electoral roll is the first step to actively participating in that decision-making. In the past, enrolment and participation by Māori in elections has been considerably lower than the non-Māori population.

“The Electoral Commission wants this to change, and encourages everyone to spread the word about the importance of enrolling to vote amongst their whānau and communities,” says Mr Peden.

The upcoming local government elections are the perfect opportunity for you to have your say on who runs your local council and district health board. They make decisions on things like the local environment, rates, parking, rubbish, parks and health services. Enrolling to vote is easy – go online at elections.org.nz, freetext your name and address to 3676, call 0800 36 76 56 or go to any PostShop.

The Electoral Commission has a wide range of resources available in te reo Māori, including education resources specifically for use in Māori-medium classrooms. Information in te reo Māori about enrolling, voting and the upcoming local elections is available at www.elections.org.nz/maori

Gordon Campbell: On Dune 2, And Images Of Islam


Depictions of Islam in Western popular culture have rarely been positive, even before 9/11. Five years on from the mosque shootings, this is one of the cultural headwinds that the Muslim community has to battle against. Whatever messages of tolerance and inclusion are offered in daylight, much of our culture tends to be hostile to Islam when we’re sitting in the dark, with popcorn.
