MATARIKI CELEBRATIONS – OUR MAORI NEW YEAR.
The Victory Community Centre invites us all to join with them (again this year) and celebrate Matariki - the Maori New Year on Wednesday 26 June, 4.00pm-8pm. Admission is free & a hangi will be provided at a cost of three dollars or a donation of non-perishable food to stock up the food bank at Victory Community Centre.
Matariki is the Maori name for a cluster of 9 stars (also known as the Pleiades star cluster) they appear this year from Tues 25 to Fri 28 June. When they rise in mid-winter it signals the commencement of the Maori New Year.
It’s a time to celebrate new life, to remember those who’ve passed and to plan for the future.
