Last week was Te Wiki o Te Reo Māori, New Zealand’s annual celebration of Te Reo Māori.
This is the 49th year that Te Wiki o Te Reo Maori has been celebrated in Aotearoa, three years after the Maori language petition was delivered to Parliament in 1972.
For their weekly catch up with Te Pāti Māori’s Mariameno Kapa-Kingi, Oto spoke to her about the important of Te Wiki o Te Reo Māori in platforming reo Māori.
He also spoke to her about gang patch legislation passing into law, and what the party’s thoughts are on this.
Finally, we discussed with her New Zealand supporting the UNGA resolution, calling for Israel to end its illegal occupation of Palestinian territory within 12 months.
