Petition request
That the House of Representatives change the country's official name to Aotearoa, and begin a process to identify and officially restore the Te Reo Māori names for all towns, cities and places by 2026, and note that 70,047 people have signed petitions to this effect.
Petition reason
We believe it is well past time that Te Reo Māori was restored to its rightful place as the first and official language of this country. In our view we are a Polynesian country – we are Aotearoa.
