Tupuaarangi is connected to food that grows up in the trees: fruits, berries and birds. During the rising of Matariki, kereruu were harvested in large numbers, cooked and then preserved in their own fat.
There is a lot of activities happening at Chartwell Library for Matariki. Come and join the fun!
