Matariki





                                         How many sisters are there?

7.
What are their names?
Te Uru o Te Rangi, Tupua a Rangi, Tupua
Who do they visit?
The reappearance of the seven Matariki stars in late May or early June signals the beginning of the maori New year
Why do they visit?
A ‘quirk of latitude’ has led to Puanga being recognised, by some iwi, as the harbinger of the Māori New Year instead of Matariki.
\What does your whaea do for you?
help with cooking and doing the washing
