As I have been going to Matariki gatherings around the country over the last 30 years, a cultural gathering was set up. At the beginning of the observation of Matariki it was as a remembrance of those who have passed, and for the things they left behind, the gems of knowledge and experience, and why? As a collection of ideas, of generosity, and memories, of those of us who remain, orphaned, today. Therefore, this is something within Matariki that we can all do, in our communities, and throughout New Zealand.
