This is not independent scholarship; it is Te Ara: The Encyclopedia of New Zealand's own entry on Matariki, the Maori New Year, one article inside the same national encyclopedia this atlas also records as a general source. It descends from that project rather than standing beside it, so citing this entry alongside the general Te Ara record for the same claim is one national encyclopedia's editorial voice counted twice, not corroboration. Use it for what this specific entry states about Matariki as observed today; a claim needing deeper specialist ethnographic or astronomical detail needs a dedicated academic source alongside it.
