More Auckland parks will get Māori names after councillors today passed
support for a programme of telling the stories of Tāmaki and increasing
the visibility of te reo and Māori culture and history.</p> <p class="element element-paragraph">
The decision to endorse Te Kete Rukuruku includes the Māori naming of
parks and places and in principle the inclusion of regional parks and
cemeteries.</p> <p class="element element-paragraph"> It is expected
that, in most cases, Māori naming will be dual naming, meaning a Māori
name is added to the existing name to enrich the stories about that
place, while not taking away from a current name.</p> <div class="element element-image"> <img id="gmail-" class="gmail-responsively-lazy gmail-inline-img gmail-loaded" alt="Other cemeteries could join Waikumete Cemetery with Māori place names." src="https://www.nzherald.co.nz/resizer/R6TnNOCCBD0aWGptSjnC3lMh0wk=/620x413/smart/filters:quality(70)/arc-anglerfish-syd-prod-nzme.s3.amazonaws.com/public/IFIHDHKG4BB7PIBRGZOFEUDO4U.jpg"> <span> Other cemeteries could join Waikumete Cemetery with Māori place names.</span> <div class="gmail-social-shares"> <div class="gmail-utility-tools"> </div> <div class="gmail-social-tools"> <a class="gmail-facebook gmail-tool gmail-first gmail-share-button gmail-svg-bg gmail-svg-facebook-icon" tabindex="_tbidx_"> </a><a target="_blank" href="https://pinterest.com/pin/create/button/?&media=https://arc-anglerfish-syd-prod-nzme.s3.amazonaws.com/public/IFIHDHKG4BB7PIBRGZOFEUDO4U.jpg&description=Other+cemeteries+could+join+Waikumete+Cemetery+with+M%3Fori+place+names.&url=https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/article.cfm?c_id=1&objectid=12123117" class="gmail-pinterest gmail-tool gmail-share-button gmail-svg-bg gmail-svg-pinterest-icon" tabindex="_tbidx_"> </a><a class="gmail-share-container gmail-tool gmail-last gmail-not-alone gmail-share-button gmail-svg-bg gmail-svg-share-icon" tabindex="_tbidx_"> </a><div class="gmail-hidden-shares extra-shares"> <div class="extra-share-wrapper"> <div class="gmail-icon-wrapper"> <a class="gmail-facebook gmail-tool gmail-first gmail-share-button gmail-svg-bg gmail-svg-facebook-icon" tabindex="_tbidx_"> </a><span class="gmail-icon-name"></span> </div><div class="gmail-icon-wrapper"> <a target="_blank" href="https://twitter.com/intent/tweet?text=Other+cemeteries+could+join+Waikumete+Cemetery+with+M%3Fori+place+names., via @nzherald&url=https://arc-anglerfish-syd-prod-nzme.s3.amazonaws.com/public/IFIHDHKG4BB7PIBRGZOFEUDO4U.jpg" class="gmail-twitter gmail-tool gmail-share-button gmail-svg-bg gmail-svg-twitter-icon" tabindex="_tbidx_"> </a><span class="gmail-icon-name"></span> </div><div class="gmail-icon-wrapper"> <a class="email gmail-tool gmail-share-button gmail-svg-bg gmail-svg-email-icon" tabindex="_tbidx_"> </a><span class="gmail-icon-name"></span> </div><div class="gmail-icon-wrapper"> <a class="gmail-linkedin gmail-tool gmail-share-button gmail-svg-bg gmail-svg-linkedin-icon" tabindex="_tbidx_"> </a><span class="gmail-icon-name"></span> </div><div class="gmail-icon-wrapper"> <a class="gmail-google-plus gmail-tool gmail-share-button gmail-svg-bg gmail-svg-googleplus-icon" tabindex="_tbidx_"> </a><span class="gmail-icon-name"></span> </div><div class="gmail-icon-wrapper"> <a target="_blank" class="gmail-whatsapp gmail-tool gmail-share-button gmail-svg-bg gmail-svg-whatsapp-icon" tabindex="_tbidx_"> </a><span class="gmail-icon-name"></span> </div><div class="gmail-icon-wrapper"> <a target="_blank" href="https://pinterest.com/pin/create/button/?&media=https://arc-anglerfish-syd-prod-nzme.s3.amazonaws.com/public/IFIHDHKG4BB7PIBRGZOFEUDO4U.jpg&description=Other+cemeteries+could+join+Waikumete+Cemetery+with+M%3Fori+place+names.&url=https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/article.cfm?c_id=1&objectid=12123117" class="gmail-pinterest gmail-tool gmail-share-button gmail-svg-bg gmail-svg-pinterest-icon" tabindex="_tbidx_"> </a><span class="gmail-icon-name"></span> </div><div class="gmail-icon-wrapper"> <a class="gmail-reddit gmail-tool gmail-last gmail-share-button gmail-svg-bg gmail-svg-reddit-icon" tabindex="_tbidx_"> </a><span class="gmail-icon-name"></span> </div> </div> <span class="gmail-share-close gmail-svg-bg gmail-svg-close-icon-white"></span> </div> </div> </div> </div> <p class="element element-paragraph">

Te Kete Rukuruku is a programme involving the collection and telling of
the unique stories of Tāmaki Makaurau. It also involves the reclamation
or identification of new Māori names and narratives across Tāmaki
Makaurau.</p> <p class="element element-paragraph"> The measures,
adopted by the environment and community committee during Māori Language
Week, responds to the council's Māori Language Policy adopted in 2016.</p> <p class="element element-paragraph">
Te Kete Rukuruku is a partnership between the council and the 19 mana
whenua of Tāmaki Makaurau. Mana whenua have been actively working on the
programme and have agreed on the new Māori naming process.</p> <p class="element element-paragraph">
The first phase of the programme is focused on Māori naming of
community parks within the decision-making responsibility of local
boards. Eleven boards have joined the programme.</p> <div class="gmail-col-print-12"> <div class="element element-oembed"> <div class="gmail-fb-post"><blockquote cite="https://www.facebook.com/richard.hills.7393/posts/10156611135874650" class="gmail-fb-xfbml-parse-ignore"><p>So much reo around te tēpu (the table) at Te Kaunihera o Tāmaki Makaurau (Auckland Council) today.
