[ICILDER Keynote Speaker: Sir Tīmoti Kāretu]

It is with great honor that we announce Sir Tīmoti Kāretu as a Keynote Speaker for the inaugural International Conference on Indigenous Language Documentation, Education, and Revitalization (ICILDER).

Sir Tīmoti Kāretu is a professor, translator, author, songwriter, and key figure of the Māori language revitalization movement. His achievements include:

• Served as the first Māori Language Commissioner.
• Admitted to the Knights Companion of The New Zealand Order of Merit (KNZM) in 2017.
• Received the Prime Minister’s Award for Literary Achievement in 2020.

Reflecting on te reo Māori (the Māori language), Sir Tīmoti Kāretu said that it “reassures me that all is not lost in our battle for the language to be spoken more widely, without apology, thus giving credence to the mantra of Te Panekiretanga o Te Reo, that is, 'The language needs to be heard far and wide; the language needs to be correct; the language needs to be Māori in ethos - Ko te reo kia rere, ko te reo kia tika, ko te reo kia Māori.’”

👉 Hear from Sir Tīmoti Kāretu and other inspiring presenters when you join us this October 12 - 14, 2023, in Bloomington, Indiana! Register now at icilder.org.
