What is matariki
Matariki is the Maori name for cluster of stars, when the 7 stars named the 7 sisters start twinkling is signals the Maori new year. It use to be a time when people remembered those that had died but now people celebrate it in lots of different ways. My family doesn't really celebrate matariki but sometimes on matariki we might have fireworks.
