Matariki

            What do you know about Matariki?                                                                                            Matariki is a cluster of stars named Matariki. Many Iwi celebrate Matariki many diffrent ways.    

When the people from long long ago would use the stars to see what type of season it was going to be. Every year in late May or late June. If it was going to be a good season the stars would be shiny. 

A constellation is a group of stars forming a recognizable pattern. 


If I had to list two ways Maori people celebrate Matariki these are the things I would do:
  
1. Have a big feast (hangi)
2. Go to the beach and look at the stars

During Matariki, people celebrate with music , songs, dancing, food and family.

Maori also tell legions to the whanau.

My family celebrates Christmas together.

THAT IS THE END OF MY MATARIKI HUI!!
