What is International Literacy Day?
September 8 was proclaimed International Literacy Day by the United
Nations Educational, Scientific & Cultural Organisation (UNESCO) on
November 17, 1965. It was first celebrated
in 1966. Its aim is to highlight the
importance of literacy to individuals,
communities and societies.
On International Literacy Day each year,
UNESCO reminds the international
community of the status of literacy and adult
learning globally. Celebrations take place
around the world, including here in New
Zealand!

Because many tribes have lived inTāmaki (Auckland), there arenumerous explanations for the originof its name.
One tradition says that Tāmakirefers to the narrow neck of landbetween the Waitematā andManukau harbours, and that Tāmakiwas an ancestor whose daughter married one of the originalancestors, Toitehuatahi.
Another says that Tāmaki was theson of the Taranaki ancestor Maruiwi. Southern Taranaki tribessay that Tāmaki refers to a line of
chiefs descended from their ancestress Parehuia. Some believethe name comes from the ancestor Maki or from one of his daughters.
Yet another tradition claims thatit comes from the 18th-centuryTe Wai-o-Hua chief KiwiTāmaki. A Waikato traditiontraces the name to Tāmaki-
makau-rau, a woman chief who wasthe daughter of Te Huia and theNgāti Te Ata chief Te Rangikiamata.
Variations of the name include
Tāmakinui (great Tāmaki), Tāmaki-
makau-rau (Tāmaki of a hundred
lovers), and Tāmaki-herehere-ngā-
waka (Tāmaki that binds many
canoes).

HOW THE
All BlacksGOT THEIR NAME
Reason 1: After one of the
team's big victories in 1905 , a
newspaper planned to have 'All
backs' as it's head line. They
suggested that the forwards
were playing like backs; but the
printer made an error and actu-
ally gave the head line as 'All
Blacks'.
Reason 2: A rugby writer said
that he begin to referring to the
rugby team from N.Z. as 'All
Blacks' because of the colour
of their uniform. He said the
only colours not black were the
silver fern on the left side of the
shirt and the white on their boot
laces.
