Matariki is the ‘door to the new year': Te Hira Henderson
Te Hira Henderson is curator Taonga Māori, MTG.
Matariki/Pleiades, the door to the new year, its philosophy and inspiration, has been gaining momentum thanks to Dr Rangi Mataamua.
National recognition of this event is growing, with many regions celebrating with their wider communities, and this is revitalising customary practices.
