Matariki 2007Matariki - Māori New Year
Pipiri 2007 - June 2007

Kānapanapa mai ana a Matariki
Matariki shines on the New Year

During Matariki we celebrate our unique place in the world. We give respect to the whenua on which we live, and admiration to our mother earth, Papatuanuku. Throughout Matariki we learn about those who came before us: our history, our family, our bones. More about Matariki - Māori New Year.
