Inā te ātaahua o te noho tahi - me te tae atu ki te hautapu i ngā tahataha o Te Wherowhero kia tukuna ngā manako o te tau hou ki Hiwa, kia mihi atu ki ngā whetū o te kāhui Matariki mō te tau kua hori - me ngā hua o te tau kei te heke mai nei. E mihi nui ana ki te whānau o Ngāi Tāmanuhiri, o Te Muriwai me a koutou mahi rangatira.

Members of our crew - alongside our waka taurua Rapanga Te Ati Nuku and Rapanga Te Ati Rangi were privileged to attend Matariki Horouta Waka over the weekend, a beautiful celebration of the year gone by and all our hopes and wishes for the new year. It was fitting to have our pōtiki waka travel to acknowledge to our waka tīpuna Horouta and Ngāi Tāmanuhiri who are kaitiaki in Te Muriwai, ngā mihi e te whānau, Mānawatia a Matariki - Nau mai rā e te tau hou ✨
