Pacific Language Weeks in New Zealand
Pacific Language Weeks 2026 celebrate the diverse Pacific languages and cultures of Aotearoa New Zealand. At Pacific Learners, we support these celebrations by providing free videos, quizzes, and classroom-ready resources to help schools and families engage with Cook Islands Māori, Vagahau Niue, Te Gagana Tokelau and other Pacific languages throughout the year.
Pacific language revitalisation in Aotearoa is supported by organisations such as UNESCO and the Ministry for Pacific Peoples, reinforcing the importance of preserving and strengthening these languages for future generations.
Learn Niuean, Cook Islands Māori and Tokelauan
Saving Realm New Zealand languages such as Cook Islands Māori, Niuean, and Tokelauan is vital because they carry cultural identity, history, and ancestral knowledge, and without active preservation, these small language communities risk losing irreplaceable heritage for future generations.
