A deep dive into Matariki
Matariki signals the Maaori New Year. It is a time of renewal and celebration in Aotearoa New Zealand that begins with the rising of the Matariki star cluster.
At this exclusive event, tohunga (expert practitioner) Piripi Lambert will share his deep maatauranga Maaori insights, revealing the science and puuraakau (narratives) behind the stars.
Bring your curiosity, your koorero, your own knowledge to share, and acknowledge this special time of year together.
