Shift Nation, very, very excited about this chat and obviously to have two amazing, well, one amazing friend.
LAUGHTER
Mata Orangi and Te Ao have joined us in studio, obviously, to talk about Matariki. But just quickly, because it is State of Origin Week, the game, you know, when you listen to this, the game would have been last night. We won't talk anything other than we do have something to address. Mata Orangi, sorry we've got to do this, you know. But Teal did help us with an amazing fundraiser where we raised $171,464 for our bro Mikey's cancer treatment over 24 hours. Teal, bro, you're a huge part of that, brother. In the afternoon when that happened, bringing energy and just seeing what was able to eventuate. And then we got to our goal, bro. We got to our goal of 500K. You helped with that. Your jersey was auctioned.
What was the final price, Hendo? That ended up, we raised, I think it was $3,000 or $4,000. But the amazing thing is the person who donated it, who bought it, said they want you to have it back. Oh, no way. Yes. So here it is, brother.
Right.
I think that's the most awesome full circle kind of moment. I thought we'd just start there real quick.
Oh, bro, this is so special. And like I said, man, I was like, yeah, I wasn't happy to part with it. But no, I just want to thank the person who sent it back, bro. I'm sorry, just quickly.
That person is Boutique Timeless Landscaping.
Shout out to Bowtech Timeless Landscaping.
In Perth, bro. Man. They actually said, would you do a collab over there? We're like, nah, no.
No, that's special, bro. And I just want to mihi to you fellas and Matua Mark especially for doing this 24 hours. Because what this, I guess, is a microcosm of is if you do good things, good things come back to you and what you fellas have done. Not just for Mikey, but the roll-on effect for everyone who was involved. Yeah. Nah, thank you. Thank you.
I'll tell you what that micro word is after, Brooke.
I also think what it's a sign of is no one wants that.
Nah, we thought we'd just start there. But brothers, Matua, Te Ao, Maturangi, thank you so much for... I suppose our audience, some would know what Matariki is, a lot wouldn't. I think something bespoke to our country, our culture, is just awesome for us to hear about, to learn. And honestly, Matumak... myself and Brooke are huge fans of you fellas so is I think a lot of the country able to take and talk about our culture in a way that is fun that is entertaining that we can get and understand so I suppose I'd like to start there I feel like you guys get you guys get paid to talk about Matariki? Like, the kaupapa is you guys help us understand Matariki a bit more. So, you know, what is Matariki, I guess, and where can we start and how is that working out this year for our Shift Nation audience?
I think I'll start by saying that Matariki is spread right across the Pacific and Polynesia. It's actually found on every single island throughout Polynesia. And so our ancestors and our relations from across the different islands used it as a marker to tell them when the new year started and what they could expect for the impending season. When they left here and came here, they went from a season that is dry season and a wet season to here, which it's cold and colder. So they came to this really cold place and they noticed here it rises in the morning. in the shortest day, around the shortest day of the year, in the middle of winter, and they know that's the marker of the new year. So they see that cluster of stars.
I saw it this morning. Even coming up to Auckland this morning, I saw it in the sky and I know where it's positioned in the sky that we are in the period where we celebrate the new year. So in essence, it's a marker, but it's become not just a marker of new year, but a marker of culture and identity and connection. Because the three values and principles that underpin it are we celebrate and acknowledge our loved ones that we've lost. We celebrate who we are today, you know, feasting and entertainment.
