Only 17% of Māori knew how to speak tereo, only 5% of our children in schools could speak tereo, and furthermore, there were people of that time who declared there was no benefit in teaching tereo and no benefit in the continued survival of tereo Māori.
As the first fully bilingual judgment issued in its history, it signals the enhancement of tereo Māori in the Court. This, at a time when the nation is celebrating the 50th year of the anniversary of the Māori language petition, the 40th anniversary of te kohanga reo and the 35th anniversary of tereo Māori becoming an official language of Aotearoa New Zealand.
I whakapōtaengia ia i
Te Herenga Waka ki te Tohu
Ture, te Tohu Paetahi mō tereo Māori, me te Tohu Paetahi
Hōnore (Taumata Tuatahi)
mō te Mātauranga Tōrangapū
me te Aorere.
