Kia ora Michael With the new Matariki public holiday starting in 2022, this year’s Matariki is a great opportunity to build your knowledge. We’re excited to join with Dr Rangi Matamua and Living by the Stars, to co-host a FREE online seminar, Matariki Te Whetū o te Tau, on 29 June 2021. What you’ll learn What Matariki is. Where Matariki can be found. How Matariki fits into a Māori division of time. The major themes and principles associated with Matariki. How Matariki will inform our new Matariki holiday (starting in 2022). Delivered as a livestreamed seminar within the Facebook event, Matariki Te Whetū o te Tau will be presented by Dr Rangi Matamua, Director of Living by the Stars. A leading expert in Matariki and Māori Astronomy, Rangi has extensive knowledge about our skies, star clusters, galaxies and planets. Matariki 2021 is the best opportunity we have to learn more about next year’s public holiday, so we wanted to make sure it was accessible and free to all across Aotearoa.
