Today, for the first time, Matariki is a public holiday in Aotearoa New Zealand. We do not want the Matariki public holiday to be simply another money-making day with Matariki sales and Matariki specials. We want things to benefit Matariki and what it stands for; we do not want people profiting from Matariki.
