music- matariki. 2/5/18
Matariki begins on 15 June in 2018.
what does matariki mean?
matariki has two meanings both of which refer to the cluster of stars. mata riki means tiny eyes and mata ariki means eyes of god.
matariki was once popular but it stopped in the 1940s. luckily in the 2000s it was brought back. only a few people took part at the first time it came back. but in a few years thousands of people joined in the honouring of the new Zealand thanks giving.
traditionally, matariki was a time to remember those who died in the last year.
