Smith, Linda Tuhiwai
Cultural Survival Quarterly, v22 n1 p27-28 Spr 1998
Maori language revitalization in New Zealand has had government support since 1982. Programs include schools that teach entirely in Maori and are based on Maori philosophy and pedagogy, as well as immersion programs and bilingual classes. School programs are complemented by community-based adult and preschool programs. Teacher shortages, dialect problems, and intergenerational tensions are discussed. (TD)
