Matariki

What is Matariki? Twinkling in the winter sky just before dawn, Matariki (the Pleiades or 7 sisters) signals the Māori New Year. Traditionally, it was a time for remembering the dead, and celebrating new life. In the 21st century, observing Matariki has become popular again. Heaven-bound kites, hot-air balloons and fireworks help mark the occasion. But it was also a happy event – crops had been harvested and seafood and birds had been collected. With plenty of food in the storehouses. Matariki was a time for singing, dancing and feasting. Matariki is the Māori name for the cluster of stars. It rises in mid-winter – late May or early June.

Star: whetu Whakanui: Rangi: celebrate sky New year: Roimata: Tau hou Matariki Information What does Matariki mean? Matariki has two meanings, both of which refer to the cluster of stars. Mata Riki means Tiny Eyes, and Mata Ariki means Eyes of God. Words translated in Maori related to Matariki Star: whetu Whakanui: celebrate Rangi: sky New year: Tau hou Roimata: Tears

When and Why is it Celebrated? Matariki begins to rise in the last few days of May, and this symbolises the coming of the Maori New Year. Some iwi (tribes) start celebrations when Matariki is first seen, however it is the first new moon after Matariki that officially signals the Maori New Year. Some people celebrate the New Year on the day the new moon rises, and others celebrate on the day after the new moon. Celebrations can last up to 3 days.

The Story of Matariki The story how it began Ranganui father Papatuanga mother Were together and had kids. The kids grew big and were arguing and wanted out. Tane muhuta push the parents apart and the kids thought they were finally free. Rangi was sad, Tawhiri god of the wind was sad for his parents and started to cry and his tears were lightning and he threw his tears to the heavens and they became the stars of Matariki the 7 sisters.
