Waimarie | Matariki 2021

Photo of Waimarie | Matariki 2021

We had an awesome night! When it was dark we lit our whole whare with dozens of candles and fairy lights, and put photos of our tūpuna on a special table with candles and star ornaments, shells etc. We did karakia for our tūpuna.

Outside under the stars, we made a bonfire and offered kai and the steam of our kai to matariki with karakia. Then we had a huge hākari and roasted marshmallows on the fire, and lit sparklers. It was a really special night 🌟🌟🌟
