To celebrate our Matariki moment our whanau were actually camping amongst about 300 campers, so we decided to do a Maori theme, taste testing evening of some of our favorite kai from Aotearoa. We made Maori bread and trifle, my husband carved and painted signs to make our campsite look like a marea, we also had our Whanau and friends come and sing and dance while the campers from all over came to taste our kai. We had the opportunity to talk a little about our Matariki celebration. We are living here in Hawaii nei but are so proud to be Maori. Kia Kaha. Nicola pere

As women of different cultures we gathered together to not only share our love of the Moana (Ocean) but to share our matariki moment. I felt connected to my ancestors and the beautiful wahine toa that surrounded me as we circled together to repeat the Kaikohou in our own indigenous language, it was such a powerful moment I’m proud to celebrate the heritage of all our ancestors I’m proud to be Maori wahine and thankful for all these beautiful wahine toa and the wairua that surrounded us all.   Nikki Pere

As women of different cultures we gathered together to share our love of the moana (ocean) and to share our matariki moment. I felt connected to my ancestors and the beautiful wahine toa around me as we circled together to repeat the Kaikohou in our own language. It was such a powerful moment for all of us, I’m so proud to be a Maori wahine. and thankfully for all these beautiful women I was surrounded by.
