ABOUT MARAMATAKA
The Māori lunar calendar is called Maramataka, which literally means the turning of the moon. It marks the phases of the moon in a lunar month.
Each night, which typically marks a day, was given a name and over time each day/night was accompanied by information guiding fishing, gardening, and other activities in the natural world. During a typical lunar month, some days are noted as being favourable for resource harvesting, whereas other days are known to be unfavourable. (Te Papa)
