📣 Nau mai, haere mai ki te Hautapu tuatahi i Araiteuru Marae! 🌟
E te whānau whānui o te ao, nau mai, haere mai!
Ka whakanuia e tātou te hautapu tuatahi 'Hara Mai Te Toki' i te kāinga o Araiteuru Marae – he kaupapa tapu, he hui whakahōnore i a Matariki me ngā whetū e iwa o te kāhui.
He wā whakamaumahara, he wā whakawhanaungatanga, he wā tuku wawata mō te tau e heke mai nei.
Ka whai wāhi te katoa – ngā pakeke, ngā tamariki, ngā māmā, ngā tāne, ngā kaumātua, ngā tauhou ki te ao Māori, me ngā tohunga hoki.
Tukua tō wairua kia rewa, ā, kia hono ki te ao tūpuna me te ao hurihuri.
Nau mai ki te mana whenua, nau mai ki ngā mātāwaka, nau mai ki ngā hau e whā – he kaupapa mā tātou katoa.
🔥 Ka karanga, ka karakia, ka waiata, ka kai – ka hono tātou ki ngā whetū i runga rā.

To all our friends and whānau near and far – you are warmly invited!
Join us for the second Hautapu ceremony at Araiteuru Marae,
Hara Mai Te Toki, a sacred occasion honouring Matariki and the nine stars of the cluster.
This is a time to reflect, to reconnect, and to share our hopes for the year ahead.
Everyone is welcome – elders, children, mamas and pāpās, newcomers to te ao Māori, and those well-versed in the traditions.
Let your spirit rise and connect with the world of our ancestors and the ever-turning present.
Visitors and locals alike – this kaupapa is for all of us.
🔥 We will karanga, karakia, sing, share kai, remember our loved ones and send our dreams to the stars above.
✨ Mark your calendars and bring your whānau. Matariki is rising – and so are we.
Tēnei te mihi maioha ki te Kaunihera o Ōtepoti (DCC), ki a Puaka Matariki Festival, mō ō koutou tautoko nui i tēnei kaupapa hirahira. Nā tō koutou pūtea, nā tō koutou ngākau nui ki te whakaora i ngā tikanga Māori, i taea ai e mātou te whakatinana i te hautapu tuarua ki Araiteuru Marae – he taonga tuku iho, he rā whakanui i te kotahitanga, te mahara, me te oranga wairua o te whānau whānui. Your support has breathed life into this special kaupapa, helping us to honour our ancestors, celebrate our identity, and unite our community under the rising stars of Matariki. “Nāu te rourou, nāku te rourou, ka ora ai te iwi.” – With your contribution and ours, our people thrive.
Tēnā koutou, tēnā koutou, tēnā rawa atu koutou.
