The myths behind Matariki say it is made up of seven stars. Their names are Waiti, Waita, Waipuna-a-rangi, Tupu-a-nuku, Tupu-a-rangi, Ururangi and Matariki. Those seven stars are bright stars which come out in June.
Many years earlier, the seven stars were one big star. But one day they broke into seven little pieces. This left one of the stars as the mother star and her name was Matariki.
Matariki is when you can make new friends and spend time with your family.
The seven stars are also called seven sisters. Matariki is a happy day where Maori people celebrate the Matariki festival with their friends and family.
