Rangers in Ōtautahi acknowledged World Ranger Day 2025 with a presentation which focused on traditional Te Ao Māori understandings of the Pleides and Rigel stars of the Māori New Year, known as Matariki. Council’s own Ross Paniora gave a brief but meaningful introduction to an understanding of this world, based on Māori cultural concepts, values, and practices.
