My two favourite moments of this matariki ✨ My siblings and I put on a kai to give thanks to our whānau for helping shift our late mother’s furniture. The picture is of myself and pāpā as you can see I was working very hard in the kitchen with my hair. In the video was my god sons 5th birthday- his first party just for him! The Batman at the very start of the clip who lives with his Poppy (my uncle) at the Kaumatua flats in Takahiwai, were we are from. The day also marked our Nana’s 4 year anniversary which was very special for our whānau. Definitely the best Matariki I have ever experienced. Embracing it with my whānau after quite a rough year definitely has raised our wairua and direction.
