Matariki Ahunga Nui

Whai wāhi ki ngā mahi toi kua whakaaweawetia e ngā wai o Aotearoa.

Mātaki i ngā mahi kapa haka, ā, ako mō ngā taonga Māori me tō tātou hononga ki te wai mā ngā haerenga tāpoi me ngā wānanga.

Haere i te ara o Waihorotiu, te awa i whakairo i te riu e mōhiotia ana ko Queen Street, ā, mā roto i te wai ka kite i ngā hononga ki te whenua.

Hono mai ki te whakanui i te tau hou Māori!
