I learnt a lot more than I thought I would, did you know Matariki is a the name of one of the stars but not just the stars it has been said that Matariki is the mother and the other six stars are her daughters, the daughters names are Tupu-a-nuku, Tupu-a-rangi, Waiti, Waita, Waipuna-a-rangi and Ururangi.
What is Matariki - Matariki is the Maori name for the group of stars also known as the Pleiades star cluster or The Seven Sisters; and what is referred to as the traditional Maori New Year.
Who celebrates Matariki - Anybody can celebrate matariki Maori or not as long as you believe that's fine,
