It’s Māori Language Week – where Kiwis are encouraged to have a go at te reo.

Whereas the language was once on a pathway to extinction, now it’s flourishing as people flock to learn it.

But a change in government last year saw restrictions placed on how the public service uses te reo – one of many policies that has been seen as an attack on Māori rights.

Today on The Front Page, we’re joined by AUT professor Dr Ella Henry to discuss some of those policies, and how we can still celebrate Aotearoa’s indigenous language.
