THE MORNING SHIFT · From Aotearoa To The World - Matariki SPECIAL with Dr. Rangi Mātāmua And Te Aorere Pewhairangi · 9 Jul 2026 podcast

What I guess one learning for me is I don't really take time to celebrate.

I'm like, that was cool.

All right, on to the next, on to the next, on to the next.

But every year I book flights, bro, and I go back to Tokomaru Bay and I turn my phone off.

And I go up, we do our hautapu, and then we sit at the top of our maunga and just be.

And it's one of the very few moments I can sit and be, especially with my, like, how I am, bro.

Yeah, I don't.

And sometimes you forget how cool some of the things you've achieved in the years.

And I think one of the last lessons that I've learned this year, the Matariki cycle is a three-year cycle, bro.

So in the first year, it rises high in the sky.

And then in the second year, it's closer to the sun.

And then in the third year, it's closer again.

So what you do is you add a 13th month into your lunar calendar, which resets it.

Because if you celebrate it the following year, it'll be too close to the sun and you can't see it.

So it goes back and we're in the 13th month now, which is Rūhanui, which translates to the great tiredness.

So I guess for me, you mentioned it at the start of the kaupapa, bro, that everyone's exhausted and our environment and our calendar is telling us it's a right to be exhausted.

It's a right to be tired and it's a right to rest at this time because this month is Rūhanui.

Yeah.

And, yeah, that's what I'm looking forward to, bro, going back to Tokomaru Bay and resting and being.

I love that.
