Though this article may not align with our message of ‘Kai Ora’, this is something affects our Taiao, something we at TWKO are very protective of. All things that occur within our Taiao have long lasting impacts on the future of Aotearoa and our agriculture. 🌱✨

Chris Luxon’s priorities are showcased in the various laws he makes without regard for environmental damage, and heavily impacts the efforts we make towards any future reductions to emissions.

One more day until Matariki! ✨

Keep your eyes to the skies whānau, Matariki represents the coming of a new year. That means new adventures, new connections, new opportunities and represent a time of change for our people.

If you would like to make a change in your own life or lifestyle, te tau hou (Matariki/Māori New Years) may be the perfect time to do it!!

What are your hopes for this Matariki? ⭐️🌟

2 days until Matariki! ✨🔥

Traditionally, Matariki is an important time for acknowledgement of those who have moved into Te Ao Wairua, those who hold important spaces within our hearts and minds. 🤎

Before the sunrise, we gather around the fire, share in karakia and stories about those who we love that are no longer with us, and with the rising dawn we embrace the coming of a new year. 🌟

Grief is a burden best confronted with a community of those you love and care about 🤎

Three more days until Matariki whānau! ✨🌟

When it comes to Matariki there is no greater way to spend it than in the company of good friends and family! Traditionally as Māori, we partake in activities that can be shared together. 🎲🎯

This could be arts and crafts, board games, watching movies together, or simply enjoying good conversations and a nice Kai! Either way, it is best spent in the company of those you hold near and dear. 🧑‍🧑‍🧒‍🧒🏡

PRO TIP: Grab some pieces of A4 paper and pick a colour each between your family, draw anything you want, then set a timer for ten minutes! 🎨 🖼️

At the end of the timer, pass the paper to your left, continue this process until your piece of paper gets back to you, and behold the artwork in all its glory!

We promise this activity will get you some good laughs, just make sure that your nephew isn’t making the drawings too cheeky 😜😂

Four more days until Mataariki! Keep an eye out for the star Tupuānuku 🌱✨

Tupuānuku is one of the nine stars of the Matariki cluster, and represents food grown in the ground, such as kūmara, taro, and other root vegetables. It is tied directly to cultivation, harvest, and abundance from the soil, so make sure you keep an eye out for her!

Pro tip: Roast Veges are easily the most convenient way to prepare root Veges! Cut into even chunks and cover with Organic Olive Oil, Salt, Pepper and a little bit of tomato paste. 🍅

Pop into the oven at 220°C for 45min and that’s your roast Veges for your Mataariki feast! 💪🏾🍠🥔

Our word this week whānau!

✨Kaitiaki✨

A wonderful word indeed! Kaitiakitanga is all about looking after others, other people, other places, other beings, our Taiao, forests, seas and everything in between!

As gardeners we are all Kaitiaki in a way, and being Kaitiaki is a core part of our identity as Māori (the same reason you never leave aunties house without having a mean as Kai first 😜)

Like and follow for more Kupu hou! 💪🏾🤎
