Hon KIRITAPU ALLAN (Associate Minister for Arts, Culture and Heritage): Mānawatia a Matariki, Mr Speaker. Tomorrow, the Prime Minister and the ministerial delegation will attend a traditional hautapu ceremony to celebrate Matariki at Te Papa, and many of my other colleagues will be attending Matariki events around the country. There will be a live broadcast of Matariki festivities at Te Papa across almost all media channels, beginning at dawn with the hautapu ceremony, and giving all of Aotearoa the opportunity to understand the traditions and to be a part of creating our new own ones right here at home. Te Arawhiti's Matariki Ahunga Nui fund is also supporting 60 groups undertaking Matariki kaupapa across the motu. They range from marae-based wānanga that explore traditional Matariki ceremonies, to albums promoting Matariki waiata that tell the stories about connection to this place, our stars, and our relations across the Pacific.
