Ngā mihi o Matariki, te wā o te tau hou Māori. Kia māhorahora te wā ki te whakanui, ki te mahara, me te tumanako. (Greetings for Matariki, the time of the Māori New Year. May this be a time to celebrate, to remember, and to look forward with hope.)
Kaumātua Kevin Prime, a long-time advisor to the Centre, led a karakia to mark Matariki 2025.
