Matariki Te Tau Hou Māori - THE MĀORI NEW YEAR

Matariki – He Whakanui
I te wā o Matariki, ka whakanui tātou i tō tātou mana motuhake i tēnei ao. He manaaki i te whenua e noho nei tātou i runga, he mïharo ki tō tātou whaea, ki a Papatūānuku. I te roanga atu o Matariki, ka ako tātou i ngā āhuatanga ō rātou mā kua hoki ki te kāinga tūturu. Ko ngā mahi me ngā kōrero o mua. Ko ō tātou heke. Ko ō tātou wheinga. Ko Matariki te tohu o te tupu. He wā e puta kē ai. He wā whakariterite, he wā kōkiri kaupapa. I te wā o Matariki, he mahara atawhai ki ngā taonga kei a tātou inaianei, hei koha atu hoki a taihoa. He whakanui a Matariki i ngā tini ähuatanga o te oranga. He whakanui hoki i te tikanga, i te reo, i te wairua me te iwi. Ko Matariki tō Aotearoa tau hou. |
Matariki – A Celebration
During Matariki we celebrate our unique place in the world. We give respect to the whenua on which we live, and admiration to our mother earth Papatūānuku. Throughout Matariki we learn about those who came before us. Our history. Our family. Our bones. Matariki signals growth. It’s a time of change. It’s a time to prepare, and a time of action. During Matariki we acknowledge what we have and what we have to give. Matariki celebrates the diversity of life. It’s a celebration of culture, language, spirit and people. Matariki is our Aotearoa Pacific New Year. (Te Taura Whiri I Te Reo Māori) |
