The precise date depends also on the moon, which is why it is not a fixed date. The rising is also affected by latitude, being later on any given day for viewers further south. It occurs most often in June. Watch for ceremonies and a big celebration on Maori Television. It appears to correspond to the obsolete Makahiki festival of Hawaii. 2013 - June 10th 2014 - June 28th 2015 - June 18th"@en . . .
