I te 24 o Hune 2022, i whakahaeretia tēnei kaupapa Whāngai i te Hautapu i mua i te atatū i Te Papa Tongarewa i Te Whanganui-a-Tara, ā, he mea ārahi e Tā Pou Temara (Ngāi Tūhoe) me ngā tohunga o Te Mātāpunenga.

I tū hei tohu i te wā tuatahi i whakanuitia a Matariki me te hararei tūmatanui. Mai i ngā 2000 kua kitea whānuitia te aro atu ki te hokinga mai o ngā whetū o Matariki i te atapō i te Hune/Hūrae i ia tau. [pre-dawn sky] Ka tae mai ana, he tohu i te tīmatanga o te tau hou Māori.

I te tunua ngā kai, ā, ka tāpaetia te korohū i te kai ki ngā whetū. I mātakitaki ngā tōhunga i te kāhui whetū me te tuku matapae mō te tau ki mua. Kei taua kaupapa hoki ko te Pirimia Jacinda Ardern me Ahorangi Rangi Mātāmua (Ngāi Tūhoe), nāna i ārahi te komiti i whakarato i te ārahi ki te kāwanatanga mō te auaha i te hararei tūmatanui hou. Ka kī a Ahorangi Mātāmua i taua rā ‘Matariki is something to share as a nation and to forge us together under one identity’.
