Matariki celebrations in Wānaka

The rising of the Matariki star cluster on the horizon heralds Te Matahi o te Tau, the Maori New Year, a time to remember those who have passed over the last year and plan for the one ahead. Tomorrow Aotearoa will mark the official rising with celebrations, commemorations and in tune with this year's theme "Matariki Heri Kai" - plenty of food. RNZ presenter Mihingarangi Forbes spoke to Charlotte Cook.
