Matariki 2025 – A Time to Reflect, Reconnect, and Look to the Stars
Matariki is more than just a date on the calendar. Rooted in the ancient traditions of Māori astronomy and storytelling, it heralds the Māori New Year — a time to honour those who have passed, celebrate the present with whānau (family), and plant seeds of hope for the future. It’s a uniquely Kiwi celebration, rich in heritage and meaning, and increasingly embraced by people from all walks of life.

Matiu Island - Waharoa
In the 1800s, the prophet Te Whiti was at Parihaka.
The Parihaka movement was underpinned by:-
• the Bible, the supreme word of God
• the poi, peace and hospitality
• the raukura three white albatross feathers denoting glory to God, peace on earth and goodwill to all men.

E ngā iwi o te motu nei E ngā iwi o te motu nei Kua tū, kua tū, a Te Whiti |
Oh people of the island Oh people of the island Hold on, hold on, to Te Whiti's way |
Repeat the 1st verse
