The rising of Makaliʻi (the constellation Pleiades) in the east at sunset marks the beginning of the Hawaiian new year, known as Makahiki. Makahiki will last until late January or February. It is a time set aside for tribute, harvest, sport, and play. The word makahiki can refer to a time of celebration, and the roughly four-month period of Makahiki was historically a time of peace and plenty, relaxation and games, and for harvest. It was also a time to honor the god Lono, one of the four major gods recognized not only here in Hawaiʻi, but throughout the Pacific. His domain includes fertility, agriculture, and peace. During Makahiki, the qualities of Lono were celebrated by feasting, competing in sports and games, hula, and storytelling. Makahiki also signifies a time of rest and rejuvenation for both the land and the people.
