Matariki Maramataka Calendar 2010-2011

Te Papa Matariki Calendar

Te Papa’s Māori New Year calendar, Matariki Maramataka, is full of proverbs, kōrero, and images that celebrate Maori principles of living – in harmony with other people, and with nature. Around New Zealand, Matariki is a time of great festivity, as well as reflection and planning for the year to come. This colourful calendar begins with the Māori New Year in June – when the star formation known as Matariki (the Pleiades) reappears in our skies – and runs through to the end of May 2011. Included are images of Māori taonga (cultural treasures), and New Zealand’s changing landscape throughout the seasons.
