In recent years, we've seen the strong revitalisation of our Puanga traditions across Taranaki and beyond. Parihaka now hosts an annual Puanga Kai Rau festival, which celebrates our land, our people, our uniqueness. This serves to strengthen our collective bounds as a people and honour our whakapapa and our tūpuna. The passage of this bill will enable the continued growth and revitalisation of our many traditions across Aotearoa, and we acknowledge the submission of Dr Matamua, who confirmed that this is not about celebrating Matariki to the exclusion of our other traditions. We also acknowledge all those who submitted on the bill.
