Mānawatia a Matariki

2 July, 2021

Dr Pauline Harris, from Rongomaiwahine, Ngāti Rakaipaaka and Ngāti Kahungunu ki Wairoa

We would like to acknowledge this time of the year, Matariki!

Matariki is a time to reflect on the past, to remember those who we have lost, to celebrate the present with our family and friends and to plan for the future.

A very important aspect of Matariki is also Environmental awareness and connection and how we contribute to a sustainable future, this is a very important value to the MacDiarmid Institute.

So to you all,

Mānawatia a Matariki
