Establishing a national wānanga for new and emerging te reo Māori writers

Tēnei te mihi kauanuanu, te whakamanawa hoki, ki a Te Mātātuhi.

Te Kāhui o Ngā Kaituhi Māori is thrilled to be supported in our inaugural year by Te Mātātuhi, mīharo! A special focus of our first annual national hui wānanga this October in Gisborne is to model marae-based programmes that we can deliver to iwi kainga at future hui. We want to create pathways for Māori writers who wish to write creatively in te reo. A particular goal is to create new literary stars among the new kohanga reo generation of rangatahi writers. We know they are there. With your support we can begin to find them. Tui, tui, tuhia!

Witi Ihimaera, Chairman.
