How Do Maori Celebrate Matariki By Joshua

How do Maori celebrate Matariki?

Maori culture celebrates Matariki by having feasts, singing songs to the people they have loved, and doing arts and craft.

During Matariki, Maori families create a bonfire to make their food for feasts like kumara, fried bread, mussels, hangi and fish.

People Celebrate Matariki with other families by doing weaving, crafting and greeting other people in other families.

After the families finish having feasts, they might do beautiful dances and haka then have karakia before they end the Matariki celebration.                                                
Matariki is a celebration of the stars. When a family gathers together they have a feast. After having the feast the family members do arts crafting and dances, especially the haka. After that they do a karakia before the end the Matariki Celebration

  2. I love it when whanau come together to sing waiata and share kai. Matariki is one of the many celebrations where this happens. When does your family come together to celebrate Joshua?
