50 years on from Māori language petition

From Morning Report, 7:53 am on 13 September 2022

Aotearoa is this week marking 50 years since a petition that kick-started the revival of Te Reo Māori. 

In 1972, a group of students rallied signatures from around the country calling for a language that had been actively suppressed to instead be supported.

Jamie Tahana has been speaking to some of those who were there.
