This report on Te Ahu o te Reo shows the wonderful reality that, in some places where no intergenerational transmission was occurring in the 1970s, children are once again using te reo Māori at home with their whānau. Te reo Māori is now alive and regenerating in places where recently, the Māorilanguage landscape was a desert. The report also looks forward: it makes a series of recommendations that have our close attention and, I have no doubt, will also get the attention of Te Mātāwai.
