MĀORI LANGUAGE WEEK: GIVE IT A GO, KŌRERO
MĀORI!
 Māori
Language Week (July 26 to August 1) officially kicks off today,
but every day is a celebration of Māoritanga at Māori
Television, New Zealand ’s only indigenous television station.
To
celebrate, Māori Television has launched a host of
initiatives, over and above the day-to-day business of promoting
Māori language and culture, both on-air and off.
WIN
A MĀORI TELEVISION T-SHIRT
AND CAP!
We’re looking for anyone with an opinion to air to take
up the challenge to win a Māori Television T-shirt and cap!
We want to hear the voice of the people in the Māori
Language Week Competition, launched last week in our
e-pānui newsletter. We want to know the best answer to the
important question – ‘Why is the revitalisation
of te Reo Māori important to the nation?’ We
invite readers to share their ideas, in 50 words or less, to
claim the prize. And, the winning entry will be published in
next week’s e-pānui!
Click here info@maoritelevision.com to

 Plus, we want to see you in the flesh. At Māori Television’s
Newmarket premises ( 9-15 Davis Crescent ), we have launched
Te Kokonga Kōrero (Speakers’ Corner), offering the
public their shot at their 60-seconds of fame! Māori Television
invites the public to contribute their whakaaro regarding the
importance of Māori Language Week via a recording booth
that is running FREE for Māori Language
Week. All broadcast-standard contributions will be collated and
broadcast this week.
 On
air, Māori
Television’s weekly current affairs programme TE HĒTERI, will feature an in-depth
look at the revitalisation of te reo Māori during
its screening on Wednesday July 28 at 9.00 PM.
 Also,
live music show, COAST,
will recognise Māori Language Week by featuring only
Māori language music during its screening on Friday
July 30 at 9.30 PM. Maori cultural group Pounamu will perform
songs from their newly-recorded album, Te
Timatanga. Also, Te Waka Huia founder Ngapo Wehi

MĀORI TELEVISION LAUNCHES
GAY LIFESTYLE SERIES
Queer life – Aotearoa style – hits
the screens on Māori Television’s gay, lesbian and
transgendered programme TAKATAAPUI this week,
starting Thursday July 29 at 9.30 PM .
Produced by Anne Speir for Claudette
Hauiti’s Front
of the Box Productions, TAKATAAPUI is presented
by the familiar and fabulous faces of Taurewa Biddle, Tanya
Simon and transgendered singer and performer, Ramon.
A bilingual programme, each episode of TAKATAAPUI is
divided into a number of bright and fast segments.
There is the ‘He Take’ or issues segment which
explores the theme of each episode in depth. The ‘He
Tangata’ slot reveals personal awareness stories where
people will talk about their experiences in coming out.
In between there are a number of short, fun items that range
hilariously from the way gays and lesbians walk, for example,
to vox pops from the sometimes ill-informed public.
In addition, there is also an interesting language segment
that explains some of the terminology used.
In the first episode this week, TAKATAAPUI looks
at the origin of the word ‘takataapui’ and the
place of gays, lesbians and transgendered people in the pre-colonised
Māori world. Ramon talks to Maree Sheehan about music
and immigration in same-sex relationships to the United Kingdom
and the programme explores takataapui relationships.
TAKATAAPUI premieres
on Māori Television
on Thursday July 29 at 9.30 PM .
