A celebrtion of unity: The importance of Matariki this year

Unity is the theme for this year’s Matariki.  Today is the fourth year of the public holiday, marking the Maori new year.  It’s the first holiday to recognise Maori – and the first new public holiday introduced since Waitangi Day became a holiday in 1974.  Today on The Front Page, Professor Rangi Mātāmua the chief advisor for Matariki is with us to take us through what the holiday means.  Follow The Front Page on iHeartRadio, Apple Podcasts, Spotify or wherever you get your podcasts.
