NZ Post’s Māori Leadership programme – Te Hononga graduates know that some of our whānau don’t have the tools or confidence pronounce te reo Māori correctly and they are committed to empowering people to step up and support each other in learning and growing te reo Māori with their rōpū, Te Kai a te Rangitira – Food of the Chiefs. Last year NZ Post responded to almost 100,000 letters to Santa in both te reo Māori and English, and this year we’re looking forward to helping Hana Kōkō receive these responses and deliver replies to even more children this year. For the fourth year, we’re offering once again the magical connection of writing to Santa and for Kiwi kids to receive replies from Santa in te reo Māori and English. NZ Post and Hana Kōkō (Santa) understand the importance of using more te reo Māori in our everyday lives and we are proud to be a part of a generation that is seeing a groundswell revival of our indigenous language.
