Mānawatia a Matariki

Here at Simply Privacy, we’re thrilled that Matariki is now honoured as a public holiday in Aotearoa. We’ll be heading out to see the beautiful Matariki cluster at sunrise on 14 July.

Mānawa maiea te putanga o Matariki
Mānawa maiea te ariki o te rangi
Mānawa maiea te Mātahi o te Tau.
Whano, whano
Haramai te toki ata huakirangi
Haumi e
Hui e
Tāiki e!
Celebrate the rising of Matariki
Celebrate the lord of the skies
Celebrate the new year.
Unite, unite
And bring forth the dawn
Together
In union
We are one!

However you choose to remember, reflect, and celebrate, we hope you all have a happy Māori New Year.

Thanks to Manatū Taonga – Ministry for Culture & Heritage for the wonderful Matariki resources.
