Do you know what Matariki is? #asmr #shorts #asmrfacts #asmrsoftspoken

Matariki, otherwise known as Māori New Year, is a public holiday that New Zealand has only recently implemented. I'm technically a week late 👀 but better late than never... right? I hope you guys enjoy this soft speaking ASMR video about the history, cultural significance and modern day relevance of Matariki in Māori culture. (By the way, Māori are the indigenous people of New Zealand / Aotearoa). Credit for this goes to Te Ara: https://teara.govt.nz/en/matariki-mao... P.S. Sorry if I butcher some of the Māori!!! I don't actually speak the language, but it does get used here and there around NZ and schools / universities occasionally try to incorporate it into their curriculum.

To listen while using other apps, switch the player to Picture-in-Picture (PiP) during playback — it keeps playing in a small floating window (the screen stays on).

To listen with the screen fully off, in-browser playback stops by YouTube's design. Open the video in the YouTube app to keep listening where background playback is supported (e.g. with YouTube Premium).
