Te Wiki o Te Reo Māori - Māori Language Week is an annual celebration of Te Reo Māori promoted by the Māori Language Commission working with the Human Rights Commission and Te Puni Kokiri.

The week, usually held in September, highlights the opportunity for New Zealanders to 'give it a go'- to learn and use more Māori phrases in everyday life. 

Te Wiki celebrates its 50th anniversary in 2025.
