For many of our whānau out there, constitutional transformation is not high up on the priority list of things to do, because we're trying to feed our babies and whānau, put a roof over their heads, trying to pay the rent and the doctors' fees, or trying to find mahi—simply living in an oppressive colonising State. Matariki is the reset for reclaiming our mana motuhake and our tino rangatiratanga to be able to, as Māori, make our own decisions once again, to work out our own destiny, to exercise what is called in international law the right to self-determination. I express this to the House and to our people: e te iwi Māori, matike mai! [to the Māori people, stand up!]. Matariki is our reset. Matariki is our New Year. Matariki is our dawn. Matariki is the reawakening of our indigenous truth whose time has come. Kua tae kē te wā, mā Māori anō a Māori e kōrero, mā Māori anō a Māori e rangatira.
