Maori Language Week - Traditional Buildings
Hello again Everyone!
For the week starting the 11th September 2023 throught ot the 17th Spetember... it is
Te Wiki o te Reo Maori! Or in English - Maori Language Week!
During this week, we encourage anyone that is curious to learn a bit
about our language - Te Reo Maori!
Maori Language week is a government-sponsored initiative that promotes the public
use and learning of Te Reo Maori. The overarching goal is to have
one million Maori speakers by 2040 - that's a cool goal huh!

September 14th is oficially Maori Language day! A friend called ThatMortimer reached out to me
on Discord and asked if I would be interested in building some simple traditional Maori
builds for the kids in his library group to replicate themselves!
The kids are aged between 7 - 11 years old, and the aim is for them to see these example
builds and try to rebuild them themselves all while learning about the structures

Wharenui: a Maori meeting house situated on a Marae, often abbreviated to Whare.
They usually have tapestries and intricate carvings inside and often contain stories
or images of the ancestral heritage.
You are not to wear shoes inside nor take food inside them.
To enter a marae, you first must be invited!
Pātaka: a Maori storehouse situated on a marae.
These were used to store food for the marae like fish, grains and meats.
They were built raised to stop rats and other scavengers ruining the supplies.
You enetered in through a trapdoor in the floor.
Waka: a Maori canoe.
Some were for domestic and practical transportation, some were intricately carved and used for war.
Some could have up to 40 people paddling! That's big!
And like the Wharenui, there were traditional rules to follow for embarking and disembarking,
as you were to be respectful of the powerful symbols carved into the bow and stern.
Again, no footwear were worn in them.
