Mai i te Kauhautū
Tēnā koutou i roto i te kōrero rā, ko te tupuna o te ao, ko ia tērā e wharau nei, e tauwhi nei i ngā āhuatanga katoa o tō tātou ao tae noa mai ki a tātou ki te hunga tangata. Ahakoa i whakapōkaikaha tātou e te hokinga mai o tēnei nā ngāraraa te mate urutā, e tika tonu ana, i whānau mai tātou me te tohu tonu o te mate e mau tonu ana ki runga i a tātou. Nō reira ko o tātou mate tuatini e tīraha ana, kua herea ki te here taura, ka whakanunumi ki tua o te pae o maumahara, ki a mate pirau kia ngaro ki te pō. He aroaro kua anga ki te wā kāinga he murimuri aroha tā tātou ki a rātou. Tēnā, e te hunga kua riro, haere, haere, haere oti atu, ā te wā e tūtaki anō ai tātou. Kāti, huri hoki ki a tātou ngā waihōtanga ō rātou mā, ngā kanohi ora kei konei e mahi pūtohe tonu ana kia whakatīnana ai ngā moemoeā ō rātou, tēnā koutou, tēnā tātou.
Nau mai Māhuru Māori! Nā Paraone tēnei nā kaupapa o te Māhuru Māori i whānau hei mea whakaara i te reo Māori. Ko te tūmanako mā tātou katoa te kaupapa nei e tautoko, e kawe i tēnei tau. Waihoki, ka hoki ngā māhara ki te hunga i para te huarahi, rātou te hunga i kawe ai te kaupapa ki ngā arapiki o Paremata, rātou te hunga i tīmata ai tēnei nā haerenga. Me āta mōhio tātou, hei te tau kei te heke mai, ka whakanui tātou i te rima tekau tau mai i te tukunga o te petihana. Mauriora!

Te whakataukī o te wiki
'Ki te kotahi te kākaho ka whati. Ki te kāpuia, e kore e whati.'
'If there is but one toetoe step it will break, but if they are together in a bundle they will never break.' - Nā Kīngi Tāwhiao Pōtatu Te Wherowhero.
Te rautaki reo Māori
‘Ahakoa ki whea, ahakoa āwhea, ahakoa pēwhea, kōrero Māori!’
Hei taunaki i te kōkiritanga o ngā mahi ki te whakapakari i tā mātou rautaki reo Māori, kua tīmata tā mātou kōkiri i te whakahoutanga o tā mātou rautaki reo Māori ā-kamupene, waihoki te anga rautaki reo mō roto i ngā tono. E rikarika ana ki te wānanga tahi ki te rāngai mō te kaupapa nei ā tōna wā.
As part of the continuation of our ongoing efforts to further strengthen our strategy for te reo Māori, we are in the beginning stages of reshaping our internal te reo Māori strategy as well as the current requirements for the Māori language plans provided to us by applicants. We look forward to engaging and collaborating with the sector at a later time to discuss this.
Mahuru Māori & Te Wiki o Te Reo Māori
Ka tangi te pīpīwharauroa, ko te karere a Mahuru. Mahuru Māori, nau mai rā!
Kua tae tātou ki tēnei o ngā marama hirahira o te tau Māori, e piki ai te tini me te mano ki te waka kotahi. Puritia ngā hoe, kia hoe ai tātou i te moana nui o te reo Māori. Ahakoa ngā ngaru tuarangaranga o whakamā, o hūkore, o horokukū, kia koke tonu tātou ki ngā whenua houkura o reo kia ora.
Hei tautoko i te kaupapa o Mahuru Māori, e kōkirihia ana tā mātou hui matua ki te poari katoa ki te reo Māori. Anei mātou e akiaki nei i a koutou ki te whakamāori i tētahi wāhanga o ā koutou whakahaere i tēnei marama, e eke ai te kōrero a Maimoa, ‘E ora ai te reo, kōrerohia!’
Te Puna Kairangi - Premium Fund Interim Production Funding Round
An extra opportunity for funding for the screen industry, supported by the guilds has been announced by funding agencies Te Tumu Whakaata Taonga New Zealand Film Commission (NZFC), Te Māngai Pāho and Irirangi te Motu (NZ On Air).
Intention:
The Interim Round intends to distribute money quickly to stimulate the domestic screen industry to recover from COVID-19 and generate employment. It is for projects that can clearly demonstrate ‘production readiness’ while maintaining the overall purpose of the Fund which is to ‘deliver high-quality New Zealand stories for international audiences’.
How much funding is available?:
Around $8.4 million dollars has been returned to the Fund from Round 1 as underspend and will now be made available through the interim production funding round for Te Puna Kairangi -The Premium Fund. The precise amount to be funded will be determined by the Panel (comprised of two Board Members from each Agency and an independent Chair) based on the needs of the projects recommended to them by the CEOs of the three Agencies.

Project Spotlight:
Louis Baker 'Te Utu o Te Aroha'
'Te Utu o Te Aroha' released today is the latest song by Louis Baker and his first song including te reo Māori.
We caught up with Louis who told us about creating this waiata in an old '60s bach at Waimarama, "the song audibly depicts what it looked like that day. When I hear it, I just think about the crystal blue waters, golden sand and the waves rolling in."
"I would love to acknowledge Hana Mereraiha who brought a lot of depth and understanding and explained things for me. Her whole contribution is massive. Sickdrumz who produced a killer beat, and of course Reuben Fleetwood who was a great energy in the room. Everybody contributed. This session had this beautiful forward motion to it. Sir Tīmoti Kāretu came through and he liked it and that was special."
Ahakoa kei whea, ahakoa āwhea, ahakoa pēwhea, kōrero Māori!
Māori language - everywhere, every day, in every way!
