Matariki celebrations were popular before the arrival of Europeans in New Zealand, and they continued into the 1900s. Gradually they dwindled, with one of the last traditional festivals recorded in the 1940s. At the beginning of the 21st century Matariki celebrations were revived. Their increasing popularity has led to some to suggest that Matariki should replace the Queen's birthday as a national holiday.]]> 2016-06-09 00:17:28 UTC https://padlet.com/mobber2/wlajydhdbfab/wish/114147736 question 7 leon_lin https://padlet.com/mobber2/wlajydhdbfab/wish/114147807 what foods were tradionally harvested around matariki
With the pātaka / food storehouses full, there was no planting, food gathering, fishing or eeling left to do, so Matariki became a mostly indoor occasion.

The old-time Matariki was a time for feasting and sharing the harvest bounty with family and friends.
