Waitā is one of the whetū (stars) of the Matariki cluster ✨ It is the star of salt water and this karakia acknowledges our deep connection to the moana and the life in it 🌊

Behold Waitā
Of salt water
Large wave, great wave
Reveal the bounty of Tangaroa
Indeed!

Waitā also has a twin - Waitī, connected to fresh water and the creatures that live in rivers, streams and lakes 🐟

As we pause this Matariki to remember the past, celebrate the present, and look to the future, we wish you and your whānau a wonderful time of reflection and connection 💙
