Matariki is the seven stars. The names are Waipunaarangi, Uruarangi, Tupuarangi, Tupuanuku, Matariki, Waiti and Waita.
Matariki is celebrated in the late May and the early June.
It was time to spend with family and to remember those who have passed away, and it was a time for them to reflect on the year gone passed and also to celebrate and plan for the new year head. It was a time of abundance, feasting, singing and sharing ones's good fortune.
