Kia ora Bloggers! Happy Matariki! How are you? On July 2nd we celebrated the Maori new year, meaning that the days get longer and spring is approaching.

One about how Ranginui and Papatuanuku were separated by Tāne Mahuta, and how Tāwhirimatea was so angry he ripped out his eyes and threw thunderbolts to the sky, creating the cluster, and another story about 7 sisters making kites, and them going to the sky. Ururangi’s kite was different from the rest, it was rainbow coloured.

What other stories about Matariki have you heard?
