I’ve chatted to friends in the Māori community about this, and depending on the iwi I gather that #Matariki is in Pipiri (the traditional one, not 新曆)—that my belief that it should be celebrated on Whiro (as our New Year) is not universal, and some wait till (O)hoata. So is this Friday’s celebration to give us a long weekend rather than wait till the actual day? Or is it a very early appearance of Matariki? And is it cool if I waited till Whiro? #Maramataka #TeAoMāori #understanding #culture
