Mānawa maiea matariki
Mānawa maiea te ariki o te rangi
Mānawa maiea te matahi o te tau
Mānawa tia
Matariki e ✨✨
A time to pause in this ao kikokiko, to come together to grieve, reflect, sing and laugh.. to eat together and celebrate the joys to come
We also acknowledge how fortunate we are to practice our traditions here on Noongar Boodja, our indigenous cousins who have just celebrated 50 years of deadly 🔥
Thank you to all who continue to support our kaupapa and strengthen the opportunities for our tauira to thrive in our home away from home. We are forever thankful for every koha of all kinds shown to our small hāpori over the past year 🥹

Two striking patu rākau carved with intention by Moa Ngawhare of Taranaki Tūturu & Ngā Puhi.. you work so hard on your creations boy and we are always in your corner. Ngā mihi rangatira e hoa ✨

Kōrero from the kaiwhakairo himself

✨tena tatou katoa✨
My two blocks of jarrah have asked for new form, so I have aided them in their request. These patu have been made for our peka over here in boorloo.

Ringneck and emu feathers lashed in waxed leather cord. The blue representing our peka, while the emu is the land that it walks on. The owl feathers pay homage to all who have passed and to remind us of their presence. Though they are gone, they still live on
The taura, acknowledging the many walks of life that have come to bring mau rakau here to WA. It shows the support that we give to one another and the unity that is needed to keep us strong.

Their names are Māreikura and Whatukura.

Māreikura and whatukura hold the male and female aspects of our very way of being. They live through us and every other force that makes the world. The feminine and masculine energys that hold life itself together.

Te Ao me Te Pō
Wāhine me te tāne
Ko Rangi nui rāua ko Papatūānuku

✨No reira, Tenā koutou, tenā koutou, tenā koutou katoa✨

Ever tried fitting the whole whānau on a tiny picnic blanket? Yeah… this is the upgrade.

This beautiful Nui Gathering Mat is perfect for all the important things in life kai, kōrero, watching the kids run wild, or claiming your spot at the park. Big enough to gather your people, and too nice to leave folded up in the cupboard!

A massive mihi to the whānau at Back Home for generously donating this gorgeous taonga to our fundraiser. If you don’t win it, they’re definitely worth checking out for more beautiful Māori-inspired products. Ngā mihi nui for supporting our kaupapa! 💙💙
