REDEFINING THE POLITICS OVER ABORIGINAL LANGUAGE RENEWAL: MAORI LANGUAGE PRESCHOOLS AS AGENTS OF SOCIAL CHANGE

Abstract

The use of the Maori language gradually declined in New Zealand. In response, Maori language immersion preschools have developed. These have become an instrument in changing the nature of Maori-government relations, as well as being a major source of shaping Maori consciousness in recent years. The author concluded with an examination of the implica-tions of aboriginal language preschools for Native people in Canada. L'emploi de la langue des Maori a peu à peu baissé en Nouvelle-Zélande. D'autre part, des garderies d'immersion en langue Maori se sont développées. Celles-ci sont devenues un moyen de modifier le nature des rapports Maori-Gouvernement, ainsi qu'une source majeure de modeler la prise de conscience chez les Maori dans les années récentes. L'auteur a conclu en examinant les implications des garderies en langue aborigène pour les autochtones au Canada.
