Rewa Paewai - National Coordinator, Te Reo Māori Professional Development:
So continuing that journey for te reo Māori and now coming to more recent times, we’ve got a little activity for you to do.
It’s a timeline and that timeline spans from 1840 up to the present time. You’ll have the timeline and you’ll have some little strips.
We would like you to have a look at these little strips and place them where you think they belong on this timeline.
Unknown - Group of people at table:
Urban Drifts – '60s, wasn’t it? 136 thousand, wasn’t it? It was dying ... was it '61? Maybe '61 ... So kōhanga reo, do you think '82? I think. '82 was kōhanga, aye? Ahakoa nō hea ... and then Māori was a dominant language in homes and community but not after the Native Schools Act.
