Celebrating Tauranga as a safe anchorage for all was the theme for a final celebration of Matariki on Friday night.
Te Tuinga Whānau gathered their wider community of supporters together at the newly opened Te Puna Hall for an evening of feasting, art and speech.
“If you were to look at the nine stars of Matariki, the one star that says it all for Te Tuinga is the star Matariki itself,” says Te Tuinga Whānau chief imagination officer Tommy Wilson.
