ACT appreciates the significance of Matariki for all New Zealanders. The use of the stars in the migration of Māori to New Zealand around 800 years ago is of great significance and really should be taught in school history classes. Abel Tasman used the same stars about 400 years later, along with James Cook after that, and they were used in the migration of all cultures to this beautiful country. What a fantastic story we have to tell.
