Matariki

                                                  Matariki 

This is the work that I did for Matariki. Matariki is the Maori New Year and it is alsonamed  for the seven sisters or the seven stars. I also did a screencastify to show how I got on with my work.

Matariki Maori New Year

Matariki, or Maori New Year  celebrations were once popular, but they stopped in the 1940s. Only a few people took part. Traditionally, Matariki was a time to remember those who had died in last year. But it was also a happy event. Matariki was a time for singing, dancing and feasting. It is celebrated more often these days.   Matariki
