My Matariki moment was with my whanau we as a whanau had come together to have amazing memories of what we celebrate with a Kaumatua and Kiuia ball on one of our marae in Putaruru and this evening was a fantastic experience for all our marae to come together and celebrate this occasion together and listen to their amazing stories about their life and also to bring together and share their ideas through a major korero that they all feel really inspired to pass down to us as we all grow together to take care of our marae along with our mokopuna who will be leading our marae when in time they will continue the journey to stand and korero along with kaikaranga and waiata this to me was a important role for me and my Siblings are having the opportunity to learn our whakapapa skills and to be a part of the hold process
