Uhi tai ana koa – Catch the rising tide!

Uhi Tai, established in 2023, is a Māori language symposium hosted by Te Taura Whiri i te Reo Māori | The Māori Language Commission. It’s an invitation for organisations, businesses and individuals to “catch the wave” and share how they are normalising te reo Māori, while picking up a few inspirational tips and tricks to implement in their own organisations. ​ 

Uhi Tai translates as the inevitable rising tide, symbolising the unstoppable wave of te reo Māori and the part it plays in our national identity.​ 

While the event was established with a specific focus on the public sector, it was clear that the need for such an event went beyond this small scope, so the decision was made to include the private sector, as well as all businesses and workplaces that may benefit from attending, and so Uhi Tai: Te Reo Māori in Business was born.
