Matariki report

  Matariki is a Maori new year and a celebration in New Zealand and it goes in winter for around 28 days over June and July.

In English Matariki means eye of the god or tiny eye. The children of the god Papatuanuku and the sky father Rangnui. They were separated and brought light over the earth. Eventually Tane mahuta the god of the forest, laid on his back and used his feet to force them apart.

We celebrate Matariki when  eating and cooking kia with family and friends, we make and fly kites, make woven clothes and baskets to remember the past and the present and store food up for the winter. 

Matariki is important to New Zealand because the 9 stars are what we celebrate for Matiriki. We celebrate the past and present of our family. I like Matariki because of all the yummy kia and the fireworks in New Brighton.

Matriki should be a public holiday, because other thing’s native to New Zealand or not like queens birthday that she's on the other side of the world to NZ so why is it public holiday in New Zealand? and why not Matariki?
