🎉✨ Celebrating a Landmark Moment in Aotearoa's History! 🎉✨ On July 21st, 1987, a significant event occurred when Te Reo Māori was officially recognised as a language of Aotearoa under the Māori Language Act. This wasn't just a legal recognition; it was a deep acknowledgment of the cultural richness embedded in our language. The path to this achievement was challenging. In 1985, efforts to protect Te Reo Māori gained momentum after the Waitangi Tribunal acknowledged it as a taonga (treasure) under Te Tiriti o Waitangi. This pivotal recognition set the stage for legislative changes, marking a crucial step in revitalising our language. Despite the resurgence of te reo Māori on various platforms, such as our Te Hiku Okoro programme, new challenges have emerged.The current coalition government has placed emphasis on Pākehā names and language within the public sector, raising concerns within the Māori community. An urgent Waitangi Tribunal inquiry has been initiated to investigate the impact of these policies, with Iwi expressing apprehension about potential irreversible damage to te reo Māori. The prioritisation of Pākehā names and language in the public sector has sparked fears that it could diminish the progress made in revitalising and preserving te reo Māori. So what can you do to help? Participate in Local Activations: keep an eye out on social media and particpate where you can. Educate and Advocate: Discuss the significance of te reo Māori and the current challenges it faces with family, friends, and colleagues to raise awareness and support. Use social media platforms to spread awareness and encourage others to get involved.

Pekalongan, Lasem, and Trusmi are some of the batik-producing areas in Indonesia. But have you ever heard of batik produced in a place called Paoman? 𝗕𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗸 𝗣𝗮𝗼𝗺𝗮𝗻 is an original creation of the people of Indramayu, a regency on the north coast of West Java. This batik tells the story of the Indramayu people through its distinctive coastal motifs and marine elements. Culture is truly the soul of a nation. If its soul is lost to time and neglected by the next generation, then the body of this nation will slowly crumble–a great nation because of its cultural richness. Through this writing, I hope that the Indonesian people can further appreciate the cultural wealth of the various regions in Indonesia, and become more aware of the importance of preserving the existence of the diverse cultures in this country, for the nation of Indonesia itself🇮🇩 Because, if not us, then who will take action?✍️🏻 #BatikPaoman #SupportLocal #SaveLocalCulture #PreciousHeritage #CitizenReporter

Today is my favorite Indonesian holiday - Pancasila Day. We are remembering the five principles of the philosophical foundation that the Indonesian state was built on: 1. Belief in the divinity of God 2. Just and civilized humanity 3. The unity of Indonesia 4. Democracy guided by the inner wisdom in the unanimity arising out of deliberations amongst representatives 5. Social justice for all of the people of Indonesia. On June 1st, 1945, Bapak Soekarno mentioned these principles and the word pancasila in his speech. Subsequently they were further refined and ultimately reflected in the constitution of the (then) young nation established in uncertain times post world war and colonialization. These principles remain powerful until today, because they not only reflect but continue to guide Indonesia as multi-ethnic, multi-religious, geographically vast, democratic country that I am blessed to call my home. #Pancasiladay #Indonesia

This video shows some Ainu people in 1913. The Ainu are an indigenous group from northern Japan and southeastern Russia, mainly in Hokkaido. Their language, Hokkaido Ainu, is listed by UNESCO as critically endangered and is considered a language isolate. The name "Ainu" first appeared as "Aino" in a 1591 Latin manuscript, De Yezorum Insula, which referred to Hokkaido as 'Aino Moxori' or 'Ainu Mosir', meaning "land of the Ainu." #ainu #japan

How the word "SUTAA" is related to our mission? At times, when you focus on helping others with your accumulated experience over the years, you may reflect on your origins. The author, hailing from the rural regions of southern Philippines and possessing Bisayan language roots, coined the term "Sutaa" to encourage judicious investment. "Sutaa" is a profound Bisaya term that denotes "to carefully verify." Interestingly, when transcribed in Japanese Katakana, "sutaa" or "スタア" can signify "STAR" in English. The author posits that when one is lost, gazing at the stars above can provide guidance. This aligns with their heartfelt mission to leverage their experience, insights, and real estate expertise to aid their kababayans with transparent, vital information, empowering them to make prudent decisions. Your concern is our priority. Discover your Dream Home with us. www.sutaaassist.com

The national ideology of Indonesia, Pancasila, was formulated by the first Indonesian President Soekarno on June 1, 1945. Pancasila derived from Sanskrit expression meaning “five pillars.” The Five Principles transcribed as Indonesia’s state philosophy are monotheism, humanity, democracy, social prosperity, and social justice. We wish our Indonesian friends a meaningful commemoration of Pancasila Day. #ASEANNationalDay
