A Maori artists collective in Canterbury is marking Matariki with two group exhibitions focusing on tradition.
Kohinga Toi is exhibiting Pu Harakeke at Our City O-Tautahi Gallery in Christchurch.
A second show, Te Pataka, at the Little River Gallery on Banks Peninsula, focuses on traditional food gathering practices.
Christchurch City Council Maori arts adviser Paula Rigby says Matariki was a time pataka (storehouses) would be full of kai.
