Te Whare Pāpāho

Ta Wik’ a Ta Rē Moriori (Moriori Language Week) will be celebrated for the very first time next month, after years of unrelenting language revitalisation efforts.

Kei te heke haere te nui o ngaa rangatahi o Waikato e toro ana i te ipurangi, aa, kei te whakaraarangi kee raatou ki te toro atu ki te hoohonutanga o ngaa tikanga, o te reo Maaori me te taiao.

Hundreds of whānau came together to celebrate our taonga, te reo Māori, at the 2025 Te Matoe o Te Reo symposium held in Te Papaioea.

Kei waenga i ngā pohutu, i ngā ngāwhā me ngā wai hū o Rotorua, kei te whakaarahia ake te reo o te whānau e Ngāti Whakaue mā te kura reo Māori.

E pārekareka ana ēnei whānau i ā rātou mahi whakapakari i ō rātou pūkenga reo Māori mā roto i te kaupapa o RaRau Mai, he akomanga ka tū ia wiki ki Te Papaioea.

This year’s Waitangi week celebrations were extra special for our Tumu Whakarae and Investment Facilitators who were grateful to be invited by Kaitono Cheryl Meek and Albert Cash to take part in the iconic occasion at the Waitangi Treaty Grounds.

What an eventful new year it has been. We kicked it off with the opening of applications to our Investment Round. In February we took a tiki tour to Te Tai Tokerau, meeting with our Kaitono at Waitangi.

Three fresh-faced rangatahi have just completed their internship at Te Mātāwai, making them the 5th intake of the summer internship programme.

Hundreds of whānau Māori at Te Matatini o Te Kāhui Maunga, shared their beautiful moemoeā for te reo Māori at our Te Mātāwai stall in Ngāmotu from 26 –28 February.

The 2024 International Indigenous Research Conference (IIRC) buzzed with energy as scholars, elders, and youth from around the world gathered in unity at Waipapa Marae, University of Auckland.
