Matariki By Alyana

Matariki.                      
Matariki is from the constellation of Taurus. Maori usually celebrate Matariki in June or July. Matariki is the Māori new year.

Matariki is all about the seven sisters. It is a traditional celebration of telling myths and histories. Maori come together as a whanau and put a hangi in the ground. They have a feast to celebrate.

 Some families believe Matariki is the mother of the six stars surrounding her. The stars names are Waiti, Waita Tupu-a-rangi, Tupu-a-nuku, Waipuna –a-rangi and Urua-rangi. The seven brightest stars are also called the seven sisters.

 Maori celebrate Matariki this year on the 25th of June. They  have a feast and have a BBQ and eat kaimoana.
