Matariki mā Puanga 2025

Ka tangi nei au i taku tangi, 

Ka heke nei aku roimata mō koutou kua wehea nei, 

Kei ngā raukura o te pō haere ki a Pohutukawa, te kaikawe o ngā mate o te tau.

Ko Matariki ki runga, ko ngā uri o Ngāti Kearoa, Ngāti Tuarā ki raro!

I karapinepine ngā uri o NKNT ki te whakanui i a Matariki. Nau mai Matariki Nau Mai.

A beautiful gathering of our people to mark the rising of Matariki. Our hautapu was held on the whenua near the middle of the maunga. We had a great turnout and a supportive team that made sure we were safe. Ahenata-May Daniels was our lead facilitator with the help of Kataraina and the team the celebration and ceremony.

E mihi atu ana ki a Brooke Rogers for our kai, our kura whānau that arrive to join and be part of the kaupapa.

E ara Matariki e!
