The National Library of New Zealand, under an agreement with Te Taura Whiri i te Reo Māori and Te Puni Kōkiri, is going to digitize a number of historic Māori magazines from the 1970s and 80s. National Librarian Bill Macnaught says this is one of the National Library’s contributions to the Māori Language Strategy to revitalise the Māori language. Lillian Hanly spoke with Nanaia Mahuta, minister for Māori development to find out more. She started by asking what these magazines are.
