THE VANISHING MAORI
|
The Maori people of New Zealand have a proud heritage which they have shared with visitors from all around the world. For hundreds of years, they have been hosting and welcoming visitors into their homes and backyards, demonstrating their traditional dances.
Te Reo Māori, the Māori language, the indigenous language of New Zealand, is one of the most well known of the languages classified as being endangered. ... However, since 2000 there has been a concerted focus at both government and tribal levels on strengthening the use of the Māori language in the home and community. |
