Championing Māori-led reo reclamation at Te Mātāwai
Te Mātāwai leads Māori language revitalisation, empowering Māori to restore te reo as a nurturing first language in homes and communities. We do this by protecting, promoting, and revitalising te reo Māori through partnership, leadership, influence, and investment. Our unique model gives Māori communities the power to decide how they invest in reo Māori revitalisation kaupapa in their Kāhui (regional cluster). To realise the vision of Kia Ūkaipō anō te Reo we want to see two key priority outcomes in kāinga and hapori: Tukuihotanga (deliberate intergenerational transmission) and Hononga Hapori Reo (connected language speaker communities). While in Wellington, our Board engages with ministers to establish a good partnership model so we can collectively reinstate te reo in the home and ensure its vibrant - kia reo mauri ora. 

 
Ko tā Te Mātāwai he ārahi i ngā mahi whakarauora i te reo Māori, he whakamana anō hoki i ngā iwi Māori ki te whakarauora i te reo hei reo ūkaipō i ngā kāinga me ngā hapori.   Me pēhea e taea ai? Mā te tiaki, te whakatairanga me te whakahaumanu i te reo mā te mahi tahi, mā te arataki, mā te whakaaweawe, mā te haumi kaupapa reo hoki. Anō he wheke, totoro ai ōna kawekawe ki ngā rohe, arā, ngā kāhui. Kei tēnā kawekawe tōna mana whakatau me tuku ngā haumitanga ki ēhea kaupapa whakahaumanu i te reo. Kia tutuki te tūruapō o "Kia Ūkaipō anō te Reo” e pīrangi ana mātou kia kite i ngā putanga whakaarotau matua e rua i roto i ngā kāinga me ngā hapori: Tukuihotanga  me te Hononga Hapori Reo.  I Pōneke ake nei, tūtakitaki ai te Poari ki ngā Minita me te whai tōtika i te mahi tahi me i kore e pū kotahi tā tēnā mahi, tā tēnā mahi kia whakahokia te rere o te reo i te tamaiti me ōna mātua, kia ukaipō anō te reo, kia hā rawa te mauri ora- kia reo mauri ora.
