Survey of Attitudes, Values and Beliefs about the Māori Language 2003 and 2006

The data collected through the Survey of Attitudes, Values and Beliefs about the Māori Language is useful because it tells us about the environment we live in and how people feel about Māori language; do they value it? is it relevant to their everyday lives? who should be speaking it?

This information can assist language planners, hapū, iwi, community groups, researchers, schools, government departments and others, to develop and support Māori language initiatives at all levels.
