The Māori Language Commission says yesterday’s Māori Language Moment was the largest, single celebration of te reo Māori in history.
More than a million people registered with Te Taurā Whiri to take part in the event at noon, marking the the day and hour when a small group of language champions presented the Māori Language Petition to parliament in 1972.
