Te Reo Māori is so much more than just words. It's our identity, our whakapapa, our past — and through our tamariki, our future.
We dream of a world in which Māori have reclaimed their reo, and where our tamariki can kōrero confidently and freely, so everything we create is designed to help whānau just like yours bring te reo Māori into everyday life—one poster, one word, one moment at a time.

Ko Kiri Tōku Ingoa
Ko Taupiri tōku maunga,
Ko Waipiata tōku awa,
Ko Te Moana-nui-a-Kiwa tōku moana,
Ko Takitimu tōku waka,
Ko Te Māhia tōku rohe,
Ko Ngāti Kahungunu tōku iwi,
Ko Ngāi Tama tōku hapū,
Ko Ruawharo tōku marae,
Ko Kiri tōku ingoa.
Kia Ora! I’m Kiri, the Māmā behind MoaThanWords. I didn’t grow up speaking te Reo Māori, but becoming a parent inspired me to change that. Now, I’m raising my tama in Ahitereiria (Australia) with te reo at the heart of our daily life.
What started as a personal journey has grown into a mission to support other whānau, parents, and teachers on theirs. Every poster and resource I create is hand-drawn, blending my background in psychology and counselling with a passion for our beautiful language.
My goal? To make it easy for you to weave te Reo Māori into your tamariki’s lives—one step at a time!
