Māori Language ResourcesLocated in the Resource Hub
In a commendable effort to foster a deeper understanding of Maori culture and science, various institutions across Aotearoa New Zealand have curated an array of resources. These resources, extensively illustrated with images and diagrams, cater to a bi-lingual audience, making them accessible to all.
One such collection is the Science Learning Hub's resources related to opportunities for using te reo Maori. This resource suite, developed alongside kura, enables kaiako and tauira to immerse themselves in learning, understanding, and acknowledging the birdlife in our environment.
At Te Herenga Waka-Victoria University of Wellington, physics experiments are conducted in both te reo Maori and English, providing a unique opportunity for those wishing to learn or practice the language while delving into the fascinating world of physics.
The Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa hosts the largest museum collection of Maori textiles, overseen by Rangi Te Kanawa. This collection is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Aotearoa.
Meanwhile, at the Auckland War Memorial Museum, the painstaking rebuild of a lintel, a project that brought together conservationists from the museum and carvers Bernard Makoare and Lyonel Grant, is detailed in Pare 5168. This project, initiated after a pare in the museum's carving collection fell and shattered in the 1980s, serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving our cultural heritage.
Additionally, the museum also houses a star compass (kāpehu whetū), a tool that shows where the stars will rise and set on the celestial equator, slightly different for our horizon in Aotearoa. The star compass also shows some stars as they align with their houses, offering a unique insight into traditional Maori astronomy.
Lastly, a significant effort is being made to preserve harakeke taonga, with work being done to prevent the deterioration of harakeke kākahu in order to preserve these taonga tuku iho and their valuable intellectual property for future generations.
While the responsible institution for developing webinars to promote te reo Māori in classrooms is not specified in the provided search results, it is clear that a collective effort is being made to celebrate and preserve Maori culture and language. These resources, available to all, provide an invaluable opportunity for everyone to learn, engage, and appreciate the rich cultural and scientific heritage of Aotearoa New Zealand.
