Mānawatia a Matariki!

Ko te mahutatanga o Matariki ki te rangi e tohu ana i te tau hou Māori – He wā hokinga mahara, he wā whakahou, he wā whakanui anō hoki.

He pūrākau, he kōrero kei tēnā, kei tēnā o ngā whetū e iwa o Matariki. Mātakihia tēnei kiriata kia ako ai i ngā whetū me te whakamāramatanga o Matariki.

Tēnā, haria mai tō whānau ki te whare toi, ka piri mai ai ki a mātou ki te whakanui i a Matariki ā te 10 o Hūrae. Tirohia te whānuitanga o ngā taipitopito ki konei: www.aucklandartgallery.com/visit/events/matariki-ahunga-nui-2026

E wātea ana ngā tapanga reo Māori, reo Ingarihi hoki mā te pāwhiri ki te pātene Ngā Tautuhinga me te kōwhiri i te kōwhiringa reo ki te wāhanga Kupu Hauraro/CC.
