Te Take i Kawea mō Te Reo Māori - WAI11 (1985)

He rōpū tūao Ngā Kaiwhakapūmau i te Reo i whakatūria hei whakatairanga i te reo Māori. I tētahi hui i te tau 1983, ka whakatūria e te rōpū nei te reo irirangi Māori tuatahi hei whakatairanga i Te Wiki o te Reo Māori. I taua hui anō, ka whakatauria e rātou me kawe tētahi take ki Te Rōpū Whakamana i te Tiriti o Waitangi. Ko te ingoa o runga, ko tō Huirangi Waikerepuru, tētahi o ngā mema nāna Ngā Kaiwhakapūmau i whakatū. 

Tapaina ana taua take ko ‘WAI11’ (koia hoki te take 11 i tāpaea ki te aroaro o Te Rōpū Whakamana i te Tiriti o Waitangi). Nō muri rawa mai ka kitea te pānga nui whakaharahara o te take nei ki te whakaoranga ake o te reo Māori. Ko tā te take WAI11 i kī mārire atu ai ki te Rōpū Whakamana i te Tiriti i te tau 1985, he taonga te reo, ā, me mātua rauhī e te Karauna i runga anō i ngā kupu o te Tiriti o Waitangi. Whakaae ana te Rōpū Whakamana ki tā ngā kaitāpae i te take nei, tūtohia ana e ia ētahi rongoā taha ture, taha kaupapa-here. Nō te tau 1987 i manaakitia ai ēnei tūtohi, mā roto mai i te Ture mō te Reo Māori.
