Matariki is the Māori new year.
The Matariki stars are also called the seven sisters. The seven sisters have names as well like: Waiti,Waita,Tupu-a-rangi,Tupu-a-nuku,Waipuna-a-rangi,Ururangi and Matariki.
The stars in Matariki were formed around 100 million years ago. That’s only 1/50th the age of our sun. Traditionally, Māori believed that the brighter the stars were, the warmer the coming season would be for growing crops.
