The seven stars of matariki




The Seven stars of Matariki 

Matariki
Tupu-a-Nuku
Tupi-a-rangi
Waiti 
Waita 
Waipuna-a-rangi 
Ururangi 

It is the Maori new year
Matariki and her sisters gather 
In a cluster
High above
We look to Matariki 
For guidance
When we
Plant
Harvest
And catch Kaimoana
A time to celebrate Matariki
