Te Matatini is important today as it celebrates and preserves Māori culture through the performing arts, particularly kapa haka. This biennial festival showcases traditional Māori songs, dances, and stories, fostering cultural pride and identity among Māori and promoting understanding across diverse communities. It serves as a platform for cultural exchange and education, highlighting the richness of Māori heritage in contemporary New Zealand society. Additionally, Te Matatini strengthens community bonds and supports the revitalization of indigenous language and practices.
