Did you know that Matariki, the Māori New Year celebration that usually takes place in late May or early June, holds immense importance in New Zealand’s cultural calendar? If you’re not familiar, Matariki or the Seven Sisters is the name of the Pleiades star cluster that heralds the beginning of the Māori New Year. Through this celestial event, an annually sought-after festival was born: the Matariki Festival. During this time, communities come together, celebrate their heritage, and honor their ancestors—after all, New Zealand (NZ) is a land rich in culture especially in Māori (the indigenous Polynesian population of NZ) culture. For them, it really is about celebrating the past, the present and the future. And expectedly, the numbers of attendees are growing as its popularity grows along with the traditions it holds, in fact it has been declared as a public holiday just last 2022.
