The trajectory of te reo Māori – SMC Briefing

For Te Wiki o te Reo Māori 2024, the Science Media Centre invited journalists to a media briefing with researchers looking at the data to help assess the current and future trajectory of the Māori language.

Te ara o te reo Māori is a research project from Te Pūnaha Matatini that aims to fill the data gaps needed to get a better picture of the health of te reo Māori and its revitalisation.

The Science Media Centre held a briefing with experts involved in the project:

  • Michael Miller, PhD candidate, Te Pūnaha Matatini
  • Dr Rachael Ka’ai-Mahuta, Project Co-Lead, Te Pūnaha Matatini

A recording of the briefing and an infographic is available below.
