    Why does every culture in the world observe Matariki and what makes our own celebration of Matariki unique? Matariki used to mark a time to prepare for a new year and new harvests and to teach the young about the land. This LATE we discuss the traditions of Matariki and the place of this festival within contemporary culture. What does it mean to people in today’s society and does it have a legitimate place in our national calendar?
