E whakatangi pūtātara ana a Paora Mackie (mauī) rāua ko Kiley Nepia o Rangitāne ki Wairau i te tīmatanga o ngā mahi whakanui i a Matariki i te Wahapū o Wairau, Te Tauihu-o-te-Waka, i te tau 2009. He mahi hiranga te whakahuihui mai i ngā whānau me te hapori whānui tonu ki te whakanui i te iringa mai o Matariki ki te rangi i te atapō ki ngā mahi whakanui huri noa i te motu.   

Titi ana ki te whatumanawa ngā mahi whakanui o te tau 2009, he marama ruarua hoki i mua atu ka tanumia e Rangitāne ki Wairau ngā kōiwi o ō rātou tūpuna o nehe ki te wahapū o Wairau. I hikina ngā kōiwi nei i tētahi keringa mātai whaipara tangata i te tau 1940.
