Matariki: Unveiling the Maori New Year
In the heart of winter, as Matariki ascends in the pre-dawn sky, a vibrant celebration unfolds. From hilltop incantations at dawn to grand balls, exhibitions, and communal dinners, a multitude of events mark the occasion. The resurgence of the Matariki tradition aligns with a growing fascination with Maori astronomy. However, mysteries linger regarding the traditional ways of observing Matariki.
