August 3, 2025

Cook Islands Māori Language Week runs from 3 - 9 August. This year’s theme is is 'Ātui'tui’ia au ki te raurau a tōku matakeinanga’ – “Connect me to the offerings of my people'. 

Te Papa and the Ministry for Pacific Peoples have created this guide which explains the meaning of the theme, a guide to pronunciation, and everyday words and phrases.
