Matariki Festival: History of Matariki The rising of the star constellation known as Matariki is an important time in the Māori calendar. It heralds in the Māori New Year, which is a time to connect with, and give thanks to the land, sea and sky. It is also a time for the community to come together and acknowledge the year gone by, as well as, to celebrate and prepare for the year ahead. This involves the sharing of kai (food), rituals, entertainment, hospitality and knowledge. Historically, the star cluster was a navigational aid for Māori and an indicator of the coming seasons. Popular before the arrival of Europeans in New Zealand, Matariki celebrations continued into the 1900s before gradually dwindling with the last traditional festivals recorded in the 1940s. At the beginning of the 21st century Matariki celebrations were revived and have become a special time of the year to celebrate the unique place we live in, respect the land we live on, and share and grow with each other.
