Today my mokos and I went to a Matariki celebration in our hometown of Waitara and they were shown how to make their own bone pendant.

Amazing morning. Feel privileged to have been at the dawn unveiling by mana whenua, of Ātea-a-Rangi (a star compass) at the top of Mauao. Awesome way to celebrate Matariki.

We are having a hangi and steam pudding. We will put up photos of our loved ones who are in the stars. Go to the urupa to see my mum. Also going to teach my kids how to make fry bread. We are very excited. . . .
