Kia ora koutou,
Join us in celebrating Matariki 2021! Matariki is one of the most important Māori celebrations. It signifies the start of the New Year in Māori culture. Matariki is the name for a star cluster also known as the Pleiades, that rises in late June or early July. It literally translates in English to the 'eyes of god' or 'little eyes'. In 2021 Matariki will be celebrated between 19 June to 11 July. Whakanuia te tau hou Māori, 19 o Pipiri ki 11 o Hōngongoi 2021.
