How do Maori celebrate Matariki? - By Cullen

How do Māori celebrate Matariki?

It is a tradition to celebrate Matariki for the Māori.

Some people celebrate Matariki by having a feast, eating taro, and lighting a bonfire on the beach. They can have mussels and kumara and ika.

On Matariki people spend time with thier family and do arts, knitting, making kites, playing board games, carving, singing and painting.

On Matariki if the stars are bright, that means your crops are going to grow faster than normal.

The main idea is that is they celebrate with a lot of stuff like the haka, dancing, weaving, carving, string games and kite making.

  1. Hi Cullen,
    I like how you described Matariki. What are the 7 stars named. Did you know the god of the stars cursed the 7 stars into the sky?
