MATARIKI
Matariki is all about celebrating with maori people and waiting for the 7 Matariki stars in the sky to meet them once and for all. A lot of maori people celebrate the 7 sisters of Matariki and they would only come out after 9 months and disappear for 3 months.
Matariki is also known as the 7 names of the sisters Waiti, Waita, Tupu-a-rangi, Tupu-a-nuku, Waipuna-a-rangi, Ururangi, and Matariki and these are the 7 main sisters. Most people celebrate for the maori new year and wake up early to see the 7 sisters shining in the sky.
Did you know that when you use a telescope you would see all Matariki sisters there are 500 hundred sisters all together. When you don’t use a telescope you would only see 7 stars in the sky and maori people do this every year.
