Happy Matariki - Māori New Year
Kia ora e te whānau,
Wishing you a happy Matariki, Māori New Year - Nga Mihi o Matariki, te tau hou Māori, ki a tatou katoa.
Matariki (also known as the Pleiades cluster) signals the Māori New Year. Celebrate the Māori new year in Tāmaki Makaurau with Matariki Festival, from 19 June until 11 July 2021.
Traditionally, new year celebrations provided the opportunity for whānau to come together and celebrate with kai, korero and waiata and to reflect on the year gone by and begin planning for the new year ahead.
Unitec Library has resources both in print and electronic that gives more information about the celebration of Matariki. Visit the Unitec Library website and our Matariki subject guide.
Check out our displays at Te Puna Library (Level 1, Building 180) and Waitākere Library (Level 3, Building 520).
