Kōhanga reo class

Children at a kōhanga reo learn a waiata. Kōhanga reo (language nests) began in the 1980s as a Māori initiative to provide pre-school education in the Māori language. Staffed by volunteers, including many older people fluent in the language, kōhanga soon proved highly popular and successful.
