Unity is the theme for this year’s Matariki. 

Today is the fourth year of the public holiday, marking the Maori new year. 

It’s the first holiday to recognise Maori – and the first new public holiday introduced since Waitangi Day became a holiday in 1974. 

Today on The Front Page, Professor Rangi Mātāmua the chief advisor for Matariki is with us to take us through what the holiday means.
