This LATE we discuss the traditions of Matariki and the place of this festival within contemporary culture. What does it mean to people in today’s society and does it have a legitimate place in our national calendar? The panel features Te Ahukaramu Charles Royal, Pita Turei, Haare Williams and Whirimako Black with moderator Kirk Torrance.
