Matariki

What is Matariki ? well Matariki is a maori tradition that they do every year from a late may to the beginning of june. Matariki is made out of 500 star but out of 500 stars we can only see seven .The only way to see all the 500 stars is too use a telescope.

The ancestors of maori used matariki ( they also used different star and nature sigh )navigating the pacific oceans of aotearoa new zealand . In the middle of  winter people work together to look for the hidden stars. But I believe that someday a bunch of people might find them.

Matariki is also known as the seven sisters appearance in maori new year.Anyways I wonder what are the names of the seven sisters Witi Waiti,Tupu-a-nuku,Tupu-a-rangi,Waipuna-a-rangi,Ururangi,Matariki.
Matariki is a maori name for the group of stars,The stars are also known as pleiades. Did you know that you can see the matariki stars all around the world.
