I would like to start my English contribution in this debate by first of all acknowledging Rangi Matamua, who has been our guide throughout this whole kaupapa of determining how te hararei tūmatanui o Matariki should go. And one of the things that he was most adamant about through the development of this was that this was not just a holiday; this is about the celebration of us as Māori—in fact, as us as New Zealanders. This is something unique to Aotearoa that we can revel in, that we can enjoy, that we can use as a nation-building opportunity.
