Te Wahi Pounamu - The Place of Pounamu

This September, we're celebrating Te Wiki o te Reo Māori (Māori Language Week, 14-21 Mahuru). The focus this year is on Tāone Reo Māori (Te Reo Towns), a call for communities across Aotearoa to make te reo visible, heard, and used in everyday life.
There's a weight to a piece of pounamu that no other gift carries. Father's Day is almost here (Sunday 6 Mahuru), and we're making it easier to find something truly special.
