Led by respected mana whenua guide Bodie Tihoi Taylor, this interactive cultural experience invites visitors to connect with the meaning, traditions, and enduring significance of Matariki for the people of Waikato through a Te Ao Māori lens.
Step into the ngahere (forest) and discover how the rising of the Matariki star cluster has guided generations of Māori through a time of remembrance, celebration, renewal, and connection.
Through storytelling, kōrero tuku iho (traditional narratives), and hands-on experiences, you'll gain a deeper understanding of the Matariki star cluster and the role its stars play in recognising our environment, remembering loved ones, celebrating the present, and setting aspirations for the future.
