      Kia Ora Mark - the use of the cross is used as a symbol of loss, most are familiar with this as a grave marker of the recently deceased. Our ancestors had many modes of burial which emcompased earth, air, fire water.

      @@MarcusWinterTheSandman Ngā mihi Marcus, I realise that and the cross makes it more relatable to most due to it being the principal symbol of christianity vis a vis a grave marker. Ae our tupuna had many modes of burial (my reference to pre-christian times) which forms a perspective of relevance to the kōrero or kupu pōhutukāwa as it were.

    What a load of tripe this is. Just another day off for most of us. When will our Govt learn that treating New Zealnders as two different people will only further divide us as a country. When are we going to have an Indian holiday, a chinese holiday etc, we wont will we. Chinese New Year, do we have a holiday for that. NO "Lunar New Year is a major celebration in many parts of Asia, but its celebration is also significant in New Zealand where a sizable Chinese and Asian population exists. It is not an official public holiday in New Zealand, but it is certainly an observance of increasing prominence.

    • @MarcusWinterTheSandman
      @MarcusWinterTheSandman  Před rokem +2

      I live in Auckland, and for years weve embraced our Asian and Indian communities festivals - We have the lantern festival over a period of nights to acknowledge Chinese new Year, we also have festival of lights for the Indian Celebrations, I've been to them and theyre awesome... long before Matariki was even a thing...A lot of asians head home for 'Chinese New year' too - as thats how its celebrated in China. Same for NZ, Matariki is for all of Aotearoa so we have a holiday here ( 2nd year). In the Gregorian new year it can be common for some to be up past midnight! . In the māori new year - were up at 5am to do karakias ( prayers) lol!. What other country can we do that? As for being treated differently in NZ - remember the english signed a treaty with māori, we have a partnership - and the english ended up not honoring it. They stole, confiscated lands, deprived māori of their own language and practices through legislation - and today there are still reparations being made for the unjust treatment of māori. And when we have something to celebrate and be inclusive of everyone - weve only had our second year, and it sounds like you feel because of the population of Chinese and asians - they deserve a public holiday too. But why put down the māori new year? It makes sense because its in Aotearoa. But your not happy because māori get a public holiday and other cultures ( asian/indian) don't - you somehow feel thats unfair? Seriously? You know how that looks aye?

      @@tupoufoliaki7418 The maori myth of the slowing down of the sun: In the days of old Tamanuiterā, the sun, used to move through the sky at much too fast a pace for humanity to complete all their days' chores leaving long, cold nights that lasted for many hours while Tamanuiterā slept. Māui and his brothers journeyed to Tamanuiterā's sleeping pit with a large rope, which in some tellings was made from their sister Hina's hair. The brothers fashioned the rope into a noose or net, and in doing so "discovered the mode of plaiting flax into stout square-shaped ropes, (tuamaka); and the manner of plaiting flat ropes, (paharahara); and of spinning round ropes", which when Tamanuiterā awoke found himself caught in. Using a patu made from the jawbone of their grandmother, Murirangawhenua, Māui beat the sun into agreeing to slow down and give the world more time during the day. So you see if that had that not happened McDonald´s would only be serving breakfast.

      Io - is one of the names for the supreme creator, the creator of all things without Io - nothing would exist. This celebration helps us better connect with our environment, acknowledge those who have passed, and connect and strengthen relationships. To increase the way we treat the planet and each other is a way to 'celebrate god' as we show our respect for many of gods creations.

      All our celestial stars and planets have a huge influence of all life. Sorry mate but it’s very much apart of you whether you choose to acknowledge it or not. If the moon can effect the tides and the sun helps everything grow and sustain us to the visible eye imagine the works of what the other planets and stars are doing which we cannot see. Even the animals know it. It’s part of nature, nature is not just Mother Earth. Its everything including the nature of the universe. Bloody western way of thinking, so blind.
