Matariki

For many people the 31st of December means parties and celebrations to welcome the New Year. But the Maori also have their own New Year that begins on June 14. The New Year is celebrated in different ways  and by different people. 
Matariki is the name for a group of stars, the Pleiades star cluster or Seven Sisters.
