Te reo Māori, the native language of Aotearoa/New Zealand, was declared an official language of the country as recently as 1987. However, today it is increasingly common to hear te reo used. In this talk, Hemi Kelly explores the benefits of learning te reo Māori, and addresses possible obstacles that have hindered learning in the past, so that the language can continue to flourish and reach new heights of recognition in the future. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx

Thank you so much for your interest in our language! As we are told by many it has no use in the world, seeing the people in the world embrace it feels better than proving them wrong x

My tupuna (grandad) had the "Māori strapped out of him" as a school kid in Invercargill and grew up trying to "whiten" us all as a way to protect us. It breaks my heart thinking of the information/knowledge we've lost due to the colonial system. We owe so much to the brave activists who kept our language alive despite all of the resistance we came up against. This was a beautiful TED talk. Much gratitude and respect xx

Same with my grandfather growing up in Ruatoria. I never heard him speak Maori. So sad.

As a Maori person I don't see the language as belonging to me or to Maori but to Aotearoa. It is for all to share and exclusion will never move any of us forward. Togetherness should be the goal, for our relationships with each other and our future.

Well said my bro! I couldn’t say it any better. I am a Cook Islander. Born and breed in Southland and I want to learn Te reo and so does my mates who are mostly pakeha! We want to learn because we believe in the bigger picture for our nation, and be uniquely different than the rest of the world, since America dodgy race issues it’s just makes us more eager to be as one with Te reo!

IN 1973 I WAS EMPLOYED AS A REG. SECONDARY SCHOOL TEACHER AT FOREST VIEW H.S. - TOKOROA AS H.O.D. TE REO MAORI. THIS WAS THE 2ND INTAKE OF TE REO IN NEW ZEALAND. I HAVE JUST FINISHED WRITING A "LINGUISTIC ANALYSIS OF TE REO " AND MANY WOULD BE SURPRISED AT MY DISCOVERY. I HAVE ALSO JUST AT THE END OF MY PHD. (WAIKATO UNIVERSITY) TOTALLY WRITTEN IN TE REO MAORI - TITLE - "I BELONG, THERFORE I AM".

As a teacher, I understand that the safe learning environment I aim to foster in my classroom where practice is encouraged doesn't always transfer into the public domain... and others don't always use supportive methods of correcting. I can only urge my fellow speakers to be mindful of anyone trying..."

@cigh7445 3 жыл бұрын

@@roseadams8003 If it discourages people then maybe they were never hungry enough and humble enough to learn the language in the first place. Phonetics are more important for minority languages because the sounds themselves are endangered and could die out even if a learners version of the language lives on

it's a very vulnerable place to put oneself in, the way we treat each other in vulnerable situations says a lot about ourselves, and whether we've dealt with our own trauma to be safe enuff to manaaki others.

the langage is the doorway to Maori world..... so true... I had some lessons in french polynesia, and I discovered that, through the langage, I better understood their way of life, their vision of the world. For instance, no word for "empty"... it doesn't exist... there is "always something" in there... far from our vision, isn't it ? I spent one year in Tahiti and islands around, and learned a lot....

You know what I don’t see or hear anymore - there used to be a song we all sang in class (we’re going back to the 70s where unbelievably when I look back on it, correct pronunciation was really important and we had regular Te Reo lessons at primary school and could choose to take it as a language class in high school) to help get the vowel pronunciation right - does anyone else remember it? I use it every day still, it would be a shame if it’s been sort of forgotten ☹ Maybe because I come from the East Coast it was more normalized back then, don’t know kind of took it for granted growing up. “Ahhhh ehhhh eeeeee awwww ooooo” obv with a tune 😊

@roseadams8003 3 жыл бұрын

Lea cav. Yes I’m from Tokoroa and we all sang the vowel sounds too. Plenty of songs etc as well It helps with pronunciation. Kids at public days are learning so much more. But like you I am wondering is that only in some areas

@shadowboxing7029 3 жыл бұрын

@@roseadams8003 Like NZ history and Te Reo Maori, it's really dependent on where you are. Certainly for myself growing up in cities, I learned next to nothing apart from one school that taught a little but the teacher was woefully ill equipped. She tried for a bit but eventually sunk back in to improper pronunciation. Being a stickler for pronunciation I looked for other avenues to get it right. I wasn't taught that song but I know of it.

News from the Rotorua Daily Post: "Child, 2, dies after Rotorua driveway accident, family member steals from doctor trying to save child's life." As hospital staff tried to save the life of a 2-year-old boy run over in a Rotorua driveway, a family member swiped a doctor's two phones and a bank card and went on a spending spree. The child died a short time later but Melissa Herewini (A MAORI) had already taken the bank card to four stores in Rotorua and bought alcohol, food, petrol, phone credit and cigarettes.
