Ko Pūwheke te maunga - Pūwheke is the mountain: Māori language and Māori ethnic identity - reaffirming identity through language revitalisation [link]Paper  abstract   bibtex   
For Maori, the correct answer to the question "Who are you?" lies in the pepeha (sayings) of each hapu and iwi throughout the country and their genealogies. The saying of Te Whanau Moana hapu of Karikari in Te Taitokerau is explained as an example. Given that such sayings are always expressed in Maori, the question arises as to how children whose parents and teachers are not good speakers of Maori will fare in terms of identity. Difficulties in the Maori language of teachers and children in kura kaupapa Maori and kohanga reo are identified as grammar related. Solutions are suggested whereby the grammar of second language learners can be improved
