Ko te Kōrero o te Kirihimete: The Christmas Story (Te Reo Māori Version)

Join us as we explore the origins and meaning of Christmas through the cultural narrative of the birth of baby Jesus in Bethlehem over 2,000 years ago! Retelling oral history and kōrero from the past is something we really enjoy as part of our te reo Māori learning journey with you - whether it's a pūrākau, a bible parable or following a character through their historical exploits - everyone loves a good story! Cultural and historical narratives are deep and rich with learning, new knowledge, morals, guidance and explanations of the world around us and within us. Let us know what pūrākau or narratives are important in your whānau!
