Some people don't—it is probably for about 30 years that I have been attending Matariki events. One that comes to mind right now, I went to Tāneatua. We were called by Ngāi Tūhoe because at that time, Matariki gatherings were a new thing. We sought out and were keen to go into towns like Auckland to celebrate as though it were Christmas or Easter. However, I was blown away to hear the stories passed down by their elders to those of us who had gone to that gathering.
