I love how Matariki is evolving as a national indigenous celebration to mark the new year, and how we are all in the process of creating rituals and understanding what it means for us all.
Finally, we get to sync up our calendar with the seasons that match our Pacific location, and take the lead from Māori.
It is one of the many reasons I am proud to be a New Zealander and a Tangata Tiriti 😍
What are you grateful for this Matariki? ✨✨
