How do Maori
celebrate Matariki?
Maori celebrate Matariki because it is a Maori tradition.
Matariki celebrates the Maori New Year. The old legend of Matariki is a
myth. Matariki is celebrated on June. They are the brightest stars but long
ago Matariki was one big star then it broke into little pieces.
During Matariki people gather family and they
sing, dance and have a feast. Some people go on the beach to celebrate Matariki
and they set a fire and have a feast. They eat kaimoana, pig, kumara and
celebrate.
When it’s
matariki people talk about memories, family they have lost and people that have died.
