The cyclical Polynesian time

The Polynesian calendar rests on a careful observation of:

• the stars, especially Matariʻi (the Pleiades)
• lunar phases
• seasons
• winds, currents and tides

It is not only about dates — it guides human, agricultural, maritime, spiritual and social activities.

In this section, you will find:

• the great periods of Matariʻi i niʻa and Matariʻi i raro
• ceremonial times
• contemporary cultural events
