- Maramataka (Māori lunar calendar) — The traditional Māori ecological and lunar calendar, from marama (moon/month) + taka (to reckon/set); one of the most sophisticated indigenous knowledge systems in the Pacific, tracking the moon's phases to guide planting, fishing, gathering, and ceremony; the maramataka is currently experiencing a renaissance in Aotearoa New Zealand as a framework for sustainable land and sea management, connecting contemporary Māori communities to ancestral ecological intelligence.
- Marama (moon) in Māori cosmology — In Māori tradition, the moon (Marama) is associated with Maui, who in some accounts lassoed the moon to slow its passage; lunar cycles govern planting seasons, fishing tides, and ritual time; the full moon (Rakāunui) and new moon (Whiro) mark significant moments in the maramataka calendar; the name Marama thus carries not just celestial beauty but the entire weight of Māori navigational, agricultural, and spiritual knowledge.
