Waiwaia ngā ngutu (Speak Eloquently)

Waiwaia ngā ngutu celebrates the eloquence and expression of te reo Māori from the nineteenth century to the present day. This exhibition showcases taonga from Auckland Libraries Heritage Collections, including hand-written manuscripts recording whakapapa and kōrero tupuna, early publications of Māori grammar books and Bibles, Māori students’ copybooks as they learned their language in written form, and contemporary translations of works into te reo Māori.

The rich soundscape accompanying the exhibition brings the written word to life and affirms the essence of te reo Māori: a language heard and spoken with eloquence.

Come and experience Waiwaia Ngā Ngutu on Level 2, Tāmaki Pātaka Kōrero |
Central City Library from 4 September - 1 February 2025.
