However, if we look at Matariki in the context of climate change, in the context and knowledge that we, as a group of people, are only a part of the wider world, a part of our environment, we should first realise that this is a way of learning about the connection of people to the land, the connection of people to the rivers, the connection of people to the mountains, the connection of people to all of our biodiversity. Therefore, greetings one and all.]
