As a Maori woman, I am on a journey of reclaiming my identity in all shapes and forms, both professionally and personally. I work for an NGO and wanted to be able to express and share Te Ao Maori and Matauranga Maori with my colleagues and this was a little project that we done for Matariki with our ECC children, whanau and kaimahi. The kaiako bought in a galaxy night light and blacked out the room, offering opportunities for tamariki, their whanau and the community to come in and engage in Hikitia-te-ha exercises as a collective, as well as telling stories about Te Iwa o Matariki.
