Overview

Welcome to Te Ihi, an educational taonga (invaluable resource) created by Sport NZ Ihi Aotearoa. Here, you can start and continue your journey of learning te reo Māori me ōna tikanga (the Māori language and its customs).

This taonga will help you increase your knowledge and confidence in te ao Māori, so you can provide a better experience for Māori.

It’s important to us that you feel supported and gain a balanced understanding of te reo Māori and te ao Māori (a Māori worldview). This resource will help you learn the basics of te reo Māori me ōna tikanga, whakataukī (proverbs), karakia (chants/prayers) and waiata (songs).
