Ko ngā ratonga reo Māori
Alexander Turnbull Library; Tohutoro: EP/1987/4271/18-F.
I whakatūria Te Taura Whiri i te Reo Māori i raro i te Ture Reo Māori 1987. Ko tāna he tohutohu, he āwhina, he ārahi hoki i ngā take reo Māori. Hei hinonga karauna motuhake, i tautoko Te Taura Whiri i ngā rōpū hapori kia whakatutuki i ā rātou whāinga reo Māori, me te whakakipakipa hoki i te karauna kia tautokona ngā kaupapa whakaako, me te whakarauoratanga o te reo Māori. Mai i tōna orokohanga, kua whakatairangahia e rātou te reo Māori, hei taonga tuku iho mā ngā tāngata katoa o Aotearoa, me tōna mana hei taonga o ngāi Māori.
Nā tenei tauira, ka tīmata te whakawhanake o ētahi rautaki unahi nui e rua, me ōna whāinga i te taha, e māhorahora ai te reo Māori me te hunga kōrero Māori kia hua, kia tini ki te motu katoa, ā te tau 2040, arā, te rua rautau o te hainatanga o te Tiriti o Waitangi.
Mā ngā iwi katoa, mā ngā ratonga karauna katoa tēnei mahi e pīkau. Kei te torotoro atu Te Taura Whiri ki te marea i te wā o Te Wiki o te Reo Māori me ētahi atu kaupapa whakatairanga. Kei te piki haere te tokomaha o ngā ākonga e ako ana i te reo Māori, kōhungahunga mai, kaumātua mai. I ahu katoa mai ēnei mahi i te kerēme reo Māori, WAI11, i kōkirihia e ētahi rōpū iti, nā ngā mahi i tīmataria e ētahi rōpū iti ake i a rātou - he tāngata i matakite me panoni ngā āhuatanga, ā, i whakakotahi i a rātou anō, kia tutuki ai.
