I was surprised to learn recently that there are as few as twenty Maori families in the South Island, who are raising their children in
a full immersion Maori language environment. There are many more people who speak te Reo of course and
Te Runanga o Ngai Tahu does have an active Te Reo in the Home programme running to encourage its people to learn the language. These two little guys are members of one Ngai Tahu family that does speak te Reo almost all the time. The words on the fridge are just one way the parents encourage their boys to keep learning new words.
