Special report: The meaning of Matariki

SPECIAL REPORT: Celebrating Matariki

Celebrating Matariki as a public holiday for the first time has been an incredibly special time – and we hope you all had a wonderful weekend and were able to spend time with family and friends.

Matariki is a significant celebration marking the start of te maramataka, the lunar calendar, as well as the Māori New Year. It is a time to gather with family and friends to reflect on the past, celebrate the present, and plan for the future.

This special report looks more closely at the importance and relevance of Matariki to everyone living in Aotearoa New Zealand.
