How do Maori celebrate Matariki?
Matariki is the Maori New Year Maori.
The stars of Matariki were formed around 100 million years ago. That’s only 1/5th the age of our sun.
During Matariki, people spend time with whanau and have one big feast. The whanau might talk about Matariki or sing one or more Maori songs.
The Maori might go fishing and eat lots of seafoods like mussels and maybe kumara and a BBQ.
When it’s Matariki Maori people make art and crafts like drawing, Maori tattoo patterns, or craft some colourful kites. They can weave flax into stars or make poi.
Matariki is a special time for the whanau to spend time together.
