Sky Tower celebrates Māori Language Week
The Sky Tower will be lit up like a rainbow to celebrate Māori Language Week from September 14 to 20.
The colours represent the rākau (cuisenaire rods) used in Te Ataarangi, a leading language revitalisation learning programme.
A kanohi (face) will also be projected onto the southern side of the Sky Tower, representing the evolving face of Aotearoa and the notions of pride and strength.
The tongue represents the elements of revitalisation: status, critical awareness, acquisition, use and corpus.
The lighting initiative was one of a few created by Māori staff at SkyCity to support Te Taura Whiri i te Reo Māori’s mahi and Māori Language Week.
SkyCity lights the Sky Tower for charities or community initiatives that it supports financially, to mark national holidays, milestones or other celebrations or events, or as a symbol of respect or solidarity.
