Matapiata | Kia Kotahi Te Hoe

Last month, Jen Margaret joined Kahurangi Fergusson–Tibble as Matariki rose and heralded te tau hou Māori. Together, they reflected on the year that had been — particularly the shifts in the political landscape and the state of Te Tiriti o Waitangi. We also turned our gaze to the horizon, not with fear or trepidation, but with purpose. It was a moment to reconnect, recommit, and remember: we are stronger when we move together.

Kia Kotahi Te Hoe spoke to the power of unified movement. Our collective efforts — the everyday actions, the quiet resistance, the simple acts of care — were acknowledged as vital.
