Join Sam and Te Rerehua as they prepare a Matariki feast!

It’s the day before Matariki and a big feast has been prepared. Eeling took place months ago and Te Rerehua and Sam are excited to give thanks to Tupuanuku and Tupuarangi, the stars connected to food grown in and above the ground. But one night, those sneaky Patupaiarehe return and start eating the stored eel ... can Sam and Te Rerehua come up with the plan to replace the kai?

Whū, he hākari! Mō te aha te hākari Matariki?

I a Grandma rāua ko Pōua e kawe ana i ngā tamariki ki te rama tuna i tētahi pō tarakaka, i raro i ngā whetū kānapanapa, i kōrero rātou mō ngā whakaritenga mō te hākari Matariki, me ngā whetū motuhake e rua e tika ana  kia mihia mō ngā kai.

He whaiwhai ake i tā rāua pukapuka rorotu, i a Ngā Whetū Matariki i Whanakotia, me te pukapuka āpiti, me Ko Ngā Whetū Takirua o Matariki, e mahi tahi ana anō a Miriama Kamo rāua ko Zak Waipara i tēnei paki ātaahua mō Matariki.
