matariki is the moari new year and people all over new Zealand
celebrate this tradition. There are many story's of how matariki
began but i am going to tell one of the oldest ones i know.
enjoy 🇦🇺😙
long ago back in the dark ages of the moari culture there was a
terrible beast called THE TANIWHA.
At night it would come out of it's hiding hole and eat all
who came near it .
In the village at about midday a boy by of the name of taniwahalake was hungry He took a boat to the lake to go fishing.(when you see
This ‘’ it means someone is talking.) He caught two big
Ones a and one small one. ‘’Yay’’ Taniwahalake shouted.
Taniwahalake was tired from waiting so he went to sleep.
He woke up 4 hours later on The on the on the other side
Of the island.He made a fire to cook his fish on because he was hungry but double the hunger.He found glowing rocks
And he straight away knew what to do.He threw as much as
He can in the boat and sailed of into the night sky.while
He was sailing he threw the pebbles in the and they
Stayed there shining like a beautiful star.
2 hours later he was home and since the sky was lit up
By the rocks the taniwha did not come out. But then the
God of the sky came and said.”You have taken my perfectly good sky and made it even better.”
Taniwahalake was relieved that he did not get punished.
So the sky god rewarded him by pushing the waka in the
Sky so everyone can see it .THE END
That is a moari myth about matariki. Now let me tell you the facts.
FACTS
The seven stars OR the seven sisters disappear in may and reappear in June. The moair's believed if the stars shined brightly There stock would grow good and if it didn't well you now the rest.
And it happens every year..Matariki is a star cluster, not a constellation people mistake it for a consellation.
I hope you enjoyed by blog leave a comment to tell me what I can do better and PEACE OUT.
