Today, Stuff is launching a campaign to make Matariki a public holiday from 2021.
Plucked from obscurity and given the breath of life, since the turn of the century, Matariki has blossomed into an inclusive, popular event.
Tied to the rising of Matariki, the Pleiades star cluster, in the night sky, the festival marks the start of te Mātahi o te tau, the new year.
Once a casualty of colonisation, Matariki’s comeback has fostered greater use of te reo Māori, and recognition for Māori customary practices.
We believe it is past time to officially acknowledge all Matariki stands for in our national calendar. To learn more about Stuff's campaign, click here

On Friday afternoon, DOC confirmed it had started its 2020-21 culling programme on Thursday, July16.
A DOC spokesperson said the department intends to undertake 60 hours of aerial control in the Aoraki/Mt Cook and Westland/Tai Poutini national parks, and another 65 hours in other areas of the conservation estate.
DOC operations director Dr Ben Reddiex said thousands of bull tahr and other tahr will be left for trophy hunters across 425,000ha of public conservation land, but in the 148,000ha national parks, New Zealand’s native species needed to come first. Read More...www.stuff.co.nz...
A Corner Stone
High upon a mountain top
Views looking out afar
Where our short-sighted views stop
Exists a planet for the Tahr
To live, to exist
Is the privilege at birth
A right shared by the Tahr
On this barren piece of Earth
Boots made from the hide
Of an animals skin
Will soon be worn by hunters,
To extinguish the life above, where the Tahr are living
Then this mountain high top
Will exist to give life
And this Tahr cease to exist
And this Corner Stone will have only cold fossils for life

The Government has thrown $124 million at reducing the country’s growing waste pile, but not everyone agrees that’s enough.

Private waste company Waste Management wants to build the rubbish dump in Dome Valley, on land between Wellsford and Warkworth.
It would replace the Redvale Landfill and Energy Park in Dairy Flat, which is predicted to reach capacity between 2026 and 2028.
But the valley's iwi and landowners worry any breach in the dump's lining could spill poisons into the Hōteo River.
Fight the Tip, Save The Dome Māori liaison Mikaera Miru said the consequences of an earlier rāhui at the site being ignored were “devastating”.
“This is the second biggest harbour on the planet, we need to look after it. It's Ngāti Whātua food basket, we need to look after it and that's why we're here.”
