The Matariki tradition has been re-established, and its regeneration coincides with a growing interest in Māori astronomy. Still, there remain some unanswered questions about how Matariki was traditionally observed. What is Matariki? Why did Māori observe Matariki? How did Māori traditionally celebrate Matariki? When and how should Matariki be celebrated? This book seeks answers to these questions and explores what Matariki was in a traditional sense so it can be understood and clebrated in our modern society."--Back cover.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hanapepe Public Library Hawaiian Nonfiction H 394.2614 Matamua Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hawaii State Library Hawaiian & Pacific H 394.2614 Ma missing from shelf Add Copy to MyList Hawaii State Library R -- Hawaiian & Pacific H 394.2614 Ma Non Circulating Add Copy to MyList Kailua-Kona Public Library Hawaiian Nonfiction H 394.2614 Ma Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kapolei Public Library Hawaiian Nonfiction H 394.2614 Ma Checked In Add Copy to MyList Makawao Public Library Hawaiian Nonfiction H 394.2614 Ma Checked In Add Copy to MyList
