All About Our Little Tradition:
The Maori New Year Matariki is something that Maori's celebrate. There are heaps of things Maori do in that time like making Kites, Harvesting, Feasts and many more. Matariki is really fun when you celebrate it Matariki is like a tradition. It expresses how Maori feel and what they feel about Matariki. Matariki also helps provide more food for Maori when they have there big feasts it also helps making connections around your family and your small family while spending quality time Together.
The Stars:
In the tradition Matariki there are Important Stars that you can see. Some Believe that there are 7, 8 and even 9 I only believe that there are 8 because there are 7 stars but including Matariki there are 8. The Stars are known for there Brightness in the sky and those who see the in Late May or Early June.
The Celebrations:
Matariki is known for it's Stars but also there Celebrations there is so much celebration's that Maori do for Matariki like the things I did in the start like making kites having big feasts also harvesting for harvesting the Maori's used the stars as guides for when to harvest the veges for there big feast.
This is all I have for Matariki Hope you enjoyed.
