Te Wiki o te Reo Māori

Come in and find a book, join in with our PNCC waiata group - Manu Hāpai, or maybe have a Kōrero Kawhe-Coffee Chat.

Matariki is a time of remembrance, celebration and sharing. For Māori, it marks the beginning of a new year and is a time of coming together as communities and whānau.
Rangitāne o Manawatū traditionally give prominence to Puanga, an important star near the Matariki cluster that can be easier to see in this part of the motu.
