This week LS1 had maori with Ms Whaea Odi. Today we were learning about the Matariki. We learnt a new song about Matariki and found some videos that told Matariki stories. Here are a few videos I found on YouTube that tell a Matariki story - The Story of Matariki, A Matariki Story, and Matariki. Matariki is the 7 sisters or the 6 sisters and the mother. Their names are Waiti, Waita, Waipunarangi, Tupanuku, Tupuarangi and Ururangi. Matariki is a maori celebration on June 15th to celebrate Maori new year with a feast. The Maori name for Matariki is Pleiades and the Japanese word for Matariki is Subaru.
Here is the song we learnt and the lyrics are above - Matariki Waiata (Song)
