First use of "Aotearoa" to refer to all of New Zealand instead of "Nu Tireni" in Te Reo and offical documents
Liz Simons made this Official Information request to Archives New Zealand Te Rua Mahara o te Kāwanatanga
The request was refused by Archives New Zealand Te Rua Mahara o te Kāwanatanga.
From: Liz Simons
Dear Archives New Zealand Te Rua Mahara o te Kāwanatanga,
I request under the official information act the following information:
When did "Aotearoa" first get used instead of "Nu Tireni" in official acts or documents in Te Reo to refer to all of New Zealand (not just the North Island) and who was the first person to do so.
When did the Te Reo translation of our national anthem first use "Aotearoa" instead of "Nu Tireni" and who first did this.
Yours faithfully,
Liz Simons
