Did you know that Matariki is a Maori new year, yea you should know by now. Most people think that Matariki is a constellation but Matariki is a cluster and Matariki is one of the star clusters near earth. Believe it or not but there's actually 500 stars but 6 or 7 are visible without the telescope. Next year on the 24th of June will be the first Matariki public holiday. Matariki is traditionally a time to get together to share kai harvested from past seasons. Cook a mid-winter feast for friends and whānau using traditional Māori vegetables such as kumara, kamo kamo, taro, puha and uwhi. There are many other delicious foods you could cook as well.
