What is Matariki all about?

What is Matariki all about?

Matariki is a celebration. It is the Maori New Year. Matariki is when people gather together and tell myths to each other. Up in the sky there is a cluster of stars but only 7 stars can be seen with our naked eye. Not only is Matariki a celebration but is also the time of plenty meaning it is a time when there are lots of food for everyone. There are lots of crops that are ripe and ready to pick. Fish, birds and many other types of food are abundant at Matariki.
