Matariki.

                                                               Matariki. 

Matariki is a cluster of stars, also known as the 7 sisters, and the Maori new year. A constellation is a group of stars forming imaginary outlines or meaningful patterns.. The stars should appear around late May or early June. The Maori believe if the stars are bright it will be a good season for harvesting crops. Maori read the ''Maori god stories'' which are legends and myths from the past. Some adults celebrate Matariki with a delicious hangi. Matariki has many different names around the world. Matariki is one of the closest star clusters to earth!  My favourite thing about matariki is having a hangi with friends and family. I hope this story helped you learn a bit more about Matariki.

these are the stars.
