Matariki mā Puanga
National Ceremony 2025

On 20 June 2025, the national ceremony was held at Tirorangi Marae, hosted by Ngāti Rangi.

Guided by local tikanga, whānau came together to reset – marking a new tau.  We were honoured to be part of the organising collective that brought the kaupapa to life in our rohe.

The theme for this year was:
Matariki mā Puanga – Celebrating Together,
recognising both unity and the diversity of iwi practices across the motu.
