Whaioro Trust and MASH worked together to create a 5 day Matariki event that everyone could participate in.
Why celebrate Matariki?
• Acknowledge Maori New Year
• Celebrate Cultivation /Harvesting of food
• Acknowledgement of those who have passed
• To bring People & whanau together to celebrate Matariki
Matariki began with a karakia and staff from both organisations closed the celebrations with another karakia, haka and a hangi(food)
