DEVELOPMENT OF TAMA KŌRERO

TAMA KŌRERO 50/50

“By 2050 te reo Māori will be one of the main languages in 50% of all Ngāti Tama homes.” Ngāti Tama have set a clear call to action for the uptake and return of our reo. To get us there, the launch of the Te Reo Māori Revitilastion Strategy, Tama Kōrero 2050, has brought to the fore, four priority areas for the next 5 years; Tama Ringa Kumu, Tama Tokopae, Tama Huānganui, and Tama Oho. Although the details of our Tama Kōrero 50/50 strategy and workplan are set out at the back of our magazine, we have also sought to get some insights of some of our current reo practitioners, as a way to inspire our whānau to learn a little more of the challenges and benefits of learning our reo.
