The inclusion of the important statement was requested by the Matariki Advisory Group, a group of experts which was only appointed at the end of 2020 to advise Ministers on when and how Matariki should be observed. The purpose of establishing an advisory group was so that Māori knowledge should lie at the core of the decisions related to the Matariki public holiday, to support and elevate our working with good intentions with the Māori world. The members of the group were from different areas of New Zealand so that knowledge from all areas was included. Their important statements were clear about the place of values and principles in the implementation of Matariki in the context of the modern world. There have been many pressures and rules laid down in the community about how these days should be observed. The members were mindful about the importance of traditional practices regarding the main purpose of Matariki so that this important practice could be observed. The Government continues to acknowledge the Matariki Advisory Group for their expertise, their specialist guidance, their focused thinking about how to realise this new Matariki public holiday. Thank you all once again.
