Te Wiki o te Reo Māori, or Māori Language Week, is a government-sponsored initiative to encourage the use of the Māori language in New Zealand. The week is set to occur every September, for the entire week that includes the 14th. Te Wiki o te Reo Māori is part of a broader movement to revive the Māori language.
Preceded by Māori Language Day from 1972 to 1974, it has been celebrated since 1975 and is currently spearheaded by Te Puni Kōkiri (the Ministry of Māori Development) and the Te Taura Whiri i te Reo Māori (Māori Language Commission), with many organisations including schools, libraries, and government departments participating.
