Matariki : The Star Of The Year
Paperback Edition: 1
In mid-winter, Matariki rises in the pre-dawn sky, and its observation is celebrated with incantations on hilltops at dawn, balls, exhibitions, dinners and a vast number of events. The Matariki tradition has been re-established, and its regeneration coincides with a growing interest in Maori astronomy.
Still, there remain some unanswered questions about how Matariki was traditionally observed. These include: Based on research and interviews with Maori experts, this book seeks answers to these questions and explores what Matariki was in a traditional sense so it can be understood and celebrated in contemporary society. A Maori-language edition is also available, Matariki: Te Whetu Tapu o te Tau. Featured in the 2019 Matariki newsletter.
