Ka tū te whakarewanga ake o te hararei ā-motu tuatahi o Matariki ki Te Papa i te atapō o te Rāmere te 24 o Pipiri.
Ko te tau tuatahi tēnei ka tū tētahi rā okioki mā te motu whānui ki te whakanui i a Matariki ki Aotearoa. Ko te Tau Hou Māori tēnei, e tū ana i te paunga o ngā rā o Hine-takurua, nō muri atu i te rewanga ake o te kāhui whetū o Matariki.
Ka huihui te Pirimia, a Jacinda Ardern rātou ko ngā tohunga i mua i te huakanga o Tamanuiterā ki te tāpae i te hautapu. Otirā, he tuatahitanga tēnei ki te ao whānui, arā, ko te hararei ā-motu tuatahi i takea mai i te ao Māori.
Ka whakatuwhera hoki te whare taonga nei i tētahi whakaaturanga pāhekoheko i te 11 o Pipiri, ā, ka whakahaerehia ngā kaupapa ā-whānau mai i te 24 o Pipiri ki te 3 o Hōngongoi.
Neke atu i te 20 tau a Te Papa e whakanui ana i a Matariki, ā, hei tā te Kaihautū, hei tā Tākuta Arapata Hakiwai, ko te whakatutukinga tēnei o tētahi wawata nui, arā, ko te whakatūnga o tētahi rā okioki ā-motu e whakanui ana i a Matariki.
“I te roanga o ēnei tau e 20, kua whakapuaki ngā iwi i tō rātou hiahia kia whakanuia a Matariki e te motu whānui o Aotearoa.”
“He nui te hunga kei te pae o ō tātou mahara i tēnei tau e titiro whakararo mai ana ki a tātou i runga i te ngākau harikoa i te mea, kei te huihui te motu whānui ki te whakamānawa i a Matariki,” te kī a Tākuta Hakiwai.
Ko te whakarewanga ake o te kāhui whetū o Matariki tēnei, arā, ko te mātahi o te tau ki te huhua o ngā iwi Māori o Aotearoa. Ka huihui te tangata, ka maharatia te onamata, ka mānawatia te inamata, ka manakotia te anamata.
“Ahakoa e whakanuia ana te kāhui whetū o Matariki e te ngā iwi maha huri noa i te ao, kua takea mai te mātauranga me ngā tikanga tuku iho o tēnei kaupapa i te ao Māori me tō tātou taiao tonu,” te kī a Tākuta Hakiwai.
Hei tā te Tumu Whakarae o Te Papa, hei tā Courtney Johnston, nō Te Papa anō te hōnore ki te whakatū i te whakarewanga ake o te kaupapa ki reira.
“Kei te hiahia mātou kia kitea whānuitia tēnei kaupapa e te tokomaha. Ka huihui tātou i raro i te kaupapa o Matariki, kei te whakapiki ake tātou i tō tātou mōhiotanga ki te ao Māori, ā, kei te whakanuia hoki tō tātou tūnga motuhake i te ao.
Ko te hautapu, he umu kai hei whāngai i ngā whetū o Matariki. Ka hukea te hautapu, ka rewa take e kohukohu i ngā kai o te umu, ka whāngaia ngā whetū. Ka kite ngā tohunga i te putanga ake o te kāhui whetū, ka whakapuakina ngā kōrero mō te tau hou. Tekau mā rua ngā tohunga e takitaki ana i ngā karakia, ā, ka whakapuaki a Ahorangi Rangi Matamua i ngā kōrero.
Ka whakapāhotia te hautapu ki ngā momo ara pāpāho, ā, ka whakapāhotia hoki ngā whakaritenga i taua wā tonu ki matariki.net.nz.
Mānawatia a Matariki 11 o Pipiri – 21 o Hereturikōkā
Hei whakanui i tēnei rā okioki ā-motu hou, ka tū tētahi whakaaturanga pāhekoheko mō Matariki ki Te Papa ki te whakatītina i te kaupapa o te Tau Hou Māori ki te ngākau o ngā tāngata katoa. Ko ngā kaupapa nui ko: maharatia, mānawatia, manakotia. Ka tuwhera te whakaaturanga o Matariki ā te Rāhoroi te 10 o Pipiri, ka kati ā te Rātapu te 21 o Hereturikōkā. Kāore he utu.
Ngā kaupapa o Matariki 24 o Pipiri – 3 o Hōngongoi
Ko ngā kaupapa utu-kore mā te whānau ēnei: ko ngā pū kōrero, ko ngā mahi mā ngā tamariki, ko ngā kaupapa rongoā, ko ngā whakaari nā te NZSO, ā, ka tū hoki a Maisey Rika rāua ko Troy Kingi ki te waiata.
