10Music Matariki Work

Matariki is the Māori name for the cluster of stars also known as the Pleiades. It rises in mid-winter and for many Māori, it heralds the start of a new year. Matariki literally means the 'eyes of god' (mata ariki) or 'little eyes' (mata riki).

    Nice mix of text and image. This is of course different to our european idea of new year. Why is it different? What determines our euroean idea of new year and why is matariki different?
