Mānawatia a Matariki
Nau mai rā e te tau hōu Māori!
With the rising of Matariki to signal the Māori new year, an Umu Kohukohu Whetū was held on Mokoia Island, Rotorua.
The Umu Kohukohu ceremony has three parts.
This includes viewing the stars, remembering those who have passed, the presentation of hautapu (food offerings) to Matariki, infused with karakia, karanga and haka.
Participants travelled across Lake Rotorua at 4am this morning to witness the occasion, which is said to be a first of this scale on Mokoia Island in over a century.
Tirohia, tohaina!
If you or your whānau are affected by mate wareware (dementia), check out the new website Mate Wareware at www.matewareware.co.nz/ for a Māori perspective on understanding this condition.
Co-created with kaumatua and whānau, Mate Wareware provides information on:
☑ What mate wareware is
☑ Māori understandings of mate wareware
☑ Types and causes of mate wareware
☑ How to look after whānau affected by it
☑ How to identify if someone may be suffering from it.
This resource was developed by researchers from The University of Auckland and AUT - Auckland University of Technology following the largest-ever study of Māori with dementia.
Kia hiwa rā, kai hiwa rā!

In case you missed it!
What if our contemporary successes as Māori could teach us about our connection to tūpuna or Atua? Or if we flip that…
What if our connection to tūpuna or Atua could teach us about our successes as contemporary Māori?
In this hour long Toi Ako Webinar, Deborah Heke shares her insights and whakaaro around Atua Wahine - Mana Wahine. Her research strives to illustrate how attributes of physically active wāhine Māori can represent pathways for connections to Atua.
A former Toi Tangata Growing the Puna intern, Deb is currently studying a Doctor of Philosophy in Māori Health and during this webinar, she touches on key themes that emerged through her kaupapa ‘Atua Wahine – Mana Wahine: Tracing the whakapapa of physical activity among Māori women in contemporary Aotearoa’.
This is a webinar you don't want to miss.
