As the month of June rolls upon us, marking the end of the traditional harvesting time, we pause for reflection as the constellation of Matariki will soon reappear in the sky to mark the start of the Māori New Year – a time for remembering the past, reflecting on the present, and gathering hopes for new beginnings. At Wellington Central Library we have organised the following free events and promotions to mark and celebrate Matariki.
Emerging Winter Food Traditions (12.30 pm Mon June 18th)
For this korero we have invited Kelda Hains and Lois Daish who will discuss preservation and fermentation around Matariki as the time following harvest.
An introduction to whakapapa research resources (12.30 pm Tues June 19th
)
The next event is a look at resources for researching whakapapa and some examples of how these resources can be used, this again fits with the ideas of whānau coming together at Matariki.
He Taonga te Reo – What’s in a name? (12.30 pm Fri June 22nd)
A presentation on the intricacies of naming places in today’s democratic society : he kōrero by Neavin Broughton
#MatarikiMash
In the lead up to Matariki we will also be running our twitter word play promotion “Matariki Mash” from 11 June where we invite you to play along by creating a story that uses the four selected Māori words for the day (don’t forget the hashtag #matarikimash). So follow us on twitter and get involved!
