Matariki

                                                                 Matariki




Matariki is all about celebration, and spending time with family Matariki was also important for agriculture. The coming of Matariki symbolized the harvest festival where the Maori feasted on the crops they had prepared. Matariki is important because it also is the time to restart the Maori calendar.
