Matariki - the Māori name for the Pleiades star cluster and marks the Māori New Year.
For Māori, Matariki is a significant cultural event in New Zealand. It marks the rising of the Matariki star cluster (Pleiades) and signals the start of the Māori lunar calendar. This midwinter festival is a time for reflection, celebration, and planning for the future.
What is Matariki?
Matariki is a cluster of stars that appears in the early morning sky in late May or early June. The appearance of these stars heralds the beginning of the Māori New Year. Traditionally, Matariki was a time to remember those who had passed, celebrate the present, and plan for the future.
