It's Matariki, the Maori New Year. Mid-winter. Matariki is a time to remember ancestors, store crops, gather fish, give thanks. 'Matariki' star system (the Pleiades) shines once a year in the heavens above Aotearoa (New Zealand). Over the last couple of decades, Matariki has become widely recognised as a time for celebration. There are exhibitions, shows, many occasions to honour Matariki
