Survey

Yesterday we went out to Pakuranga mall and surveyed 20
people. We asked them if they knew what Matariki is? Fourteen
didn’t know what matariki was and six knew about it. We asked
people from different cultures but all lived in New zealand. It
shows us that many people didn’t know what Matariki is even
though they live in New Zealand. So we should put Matariki on
the calendar,decorate the malls, put it on the radio and make
people more aware about Matariki. Some people did not know
about their own culture or festival.

It shows us that less people know about Matariki and many
people don’t know what Matariki is.  So we
should celebrate it more by putting Matariki on the calendar,
decorate the malls, put it on the radio and make people more
aware about Matariki.
