The Maori are a group of indigenous peoples residing primarily in New Zealand. In recent years, there has been a slight increase in the percentage of Maori speaking their native language. However, it wasn't always this way. The Maori have struggled for decades to preserve their language and garner it an official status right. In our presentation, we will discuss a website that aims to promote the Maori language in the media.
http://www.tmp.govt.nz/
This is the main website that we looked at. The organisation represented by this website, the Te Mangais Paho, helps funding for several different television networks, radio channels and music. The organization helps to get individuals their own music deal, radio station or television station. This helps reach their goal of, as they put it, " Bringing the joy of Māori language to all listeners and viewers."
