Ki ētahi Māori tokomaha tonu, ko te whakakau ake o Matariki ki te rāwhiti i te ata iti o te rangi takurua, i ngā pō Tangaroa o te marama o Pipiri, te tohu o te Tau Hou Māori (e mōhiotia ana anō ko te mātahi o te tau). I whakarewahia e te aranga o Matariki te hui whakanui hiranga katoa o te maramataka Māori, e haere tonu ana hoki te whakanuia o tōna aranga ake i ēnei rā ki te kawa me te tikanga. E tohu ana a Matariki i te wā o te hokinga mahara, te whakamaharatanga, te wā whakanui, te mahi āhuareka, me te arotahi ki ngā painga ka kawea mai e te tau hou. He wāhanga a Matariki nō te pūnaha maramataka taiao e uru atu ai te tūnga mai o te rā, te rewanga ā-maru o ngā whetū, te kaupeka marama, me ngā tohu ā-taiao kei tēnā me tēnā rohe. Katoa ngā āhuatanga nei ka ārahi i ngā ōwehenga a ngāi Māori mō te taka o te wā e ākina ana e te taiao. Ko ētahi iwi ka whakamahi i te rewanga ā-maru o ētahi atu whetū hei tohu mō te Tau Hou Māori/Mātahi o te Tau, ina koa te whetū o Puanga (Rigel). He rerekē anō ngā tohu a ētahi atu iwi me ētahi atu rohe mō āhea, me pēhea hoki e arohia ai, e whakanuia ai te Tau Hou Māori. Ka arahina a Matariki e ētahi mātāpono matua e 3 e whai iho nei: te whakamaharatanga: te whakahōnore i te hunga kua mate mai i te aranga ake o Matariki i te tau o mua atu: te whakanui i tēnei wā: te huihui tahi ki te whānau me ngā hoa: te titiro ki tua: te titiro whakamua ki ngā painga ka kawea mai e te tau hou. Ko te uara matua hoki kei te tūāpapa o Matariki, hiranga katoa ko te— aroha: whakamaharatanga: kotahitanga: manaakitanga: tohatoha: mana taiao: hākari: wānanga: noho tahi: atawhaitanga: whakanui: tuakiritanga. Ko Matariki te wā e huihui ai, e whakamihia ai te hunga mate, e whakanuia ai tēnei wā nei, e whakariteritea ai ngā rā ki tua. Ko Matariki te whetū o te Tau Hou Māori.

2: Commencement

1: Preliminary provisions
3: Meaning and significance of Matariki to Māori
The Matariki Advisory Group (established by the Government) has explained the meaning and significance of Matariki to Māori as follows: Mānawa maiea te putanga o Matariki Mānawa maiea te ariki o te rangi Mānawa maiea te mātahi o te tau Welcome the rising of Matariki Welcome the rising of the lord of the sky Welcome the New Year Matariki is the Māori name for Pleiades, an open star cluster within the constellation of Taurus. For many Māori, the eastern pre-dawn appearance of Matariki in the winter sky, during the last quarter of the lunar month of Pipiri, marks the beginning of the Māori New Year (also known as te mātahi o te tau). The rising of Matariki launched the most significant celebration in the traditional Māori calendar, and its appearance continues to be honoured today with ritual and ceremony. Matariki marks a period of reflection and remembrance, celebration and festivities, and focus on the promise of a new season. Matariki is part of an environmental calendar system that includes the position of the sun, heliacal rising of stars, lunar phases, and regional ecological events. All of these factors inform a Māori environmental-driven division of time. Some tribal groups use the heliacal rising of other stars as their marker of the Māori New Year, in particular the star Puanga (Rigel). Other tribal groups and regions also have variations regarding when and how the Māori New Year is observed and celebrated. Matariki is guided by the following 3 major principles: remembrance: honouring those who have died since the last rising of Matariki: celebrating the present: gathering together with family and friends: looking to the future: looking forward to the promise of a new year. Matariki is also underpinned by key values, most significantly— aroha—love and respect for one another: whakamaharatanga—remembrance: kotahitanga—unity: manaakitanga—caring: tohatoha—sharing: mana taiao—environmental awareness: hākari—feasting: wānanga—discussion: noho tahi—coming together: atawhaitanga—kindness: whakanui—celebrations: tuakiritanga—identity. Matariki is a time to gather, to acknowledge those who have passed, to celebrate the present, and to plan for the future. Matariki is the star of the Māori New Year.
