When do we celebrate Matariki at Te Papa?
“We’re celebrating Matariki at Te Papa from Fri 15 – Sun 24 June 2018 and we’ll kick off the celebrations with a community ritual for the whole family – it was really incredible last year and we had a capacity crowd,” says Dr Royal.
Why is Te Papa important to New Zealand?
Te Papa believes Matariki should be celebrated by all New Zealanders as an indigenous event of national identity. Te Papa has marked Matariki for many years, and played an important role in revitalising interest in the event. This year, it will hold for the second time, a Matariki community ritual, along with other public events.
