At Matariki, we remember those who have passed in the previous year, as well all those we have loved who have passed. The Matariki star, Pōhutukawa, reminds us to reflect on this - in Māori lore, when a person passes, they travel along the spirit path (Te Ara Wairua) to the tip of the North Island at Te Rerenga Wairua, where the follow the root of a solitary pōhutukawa tree to the next world.
Prepare for tears when you hear the stunning choir version of "Pōhutukawa." Perfect as a song at concerts, or as part of any Matariki celebration with reflection in mind. It tells the story and explores the values of this burgeoning holiday on the Kiwi calendar!
