Nau mai haere mai.

Ka whakanuia tuatahitia te tau hou Māori i tēnei tau 2022 me tētahi hararei tūmatanui.

Ka rewa ana a Matariki i te pae, ka mahara ake tātau ki a Hetekia Te Kani Te Ua, me tana tūhāhā i ngā rangi e kitea ai e a ia te mātauranga me ngā akoranga hai whakakitenga mō tōna iwi.

Mā tēnei kiriata koe e ārahi.

Mauri ora!

Nau mai haere mai.

2022 is the first year that Aotearoa will celebrate the Māori new year with a public holiday.

When Matariki’s cluster appears, we are reminded of the journey Hetekia Te Kani Te Ua took. From this journey came the knowledge and the teachings shared as a way forward for his people.

We hope you have fun using our app.

Mauri ora!
