Māori language week starts on the 15th of September. Born out of activism, the week grew from a single 'Māori Language Day' way back in 1972. In 1975 it turned into a full week making this year the 50th anniversary!
Dr Awanui Te Huia, from Victoria University joins Mihingarangi to discuss both the successes and challenges facing te reo Māori.
