Heralding the new year – Matariki – Māori New Year The heavens Matariki is the Māori name for the small cluster of stars also known as the Pleiades or the Seven Sisters, in the Taurus constellation. In New Zealand it comes into view low on the north-eastern horizon, appearing in the tail of the Milky Way in the last days of May or in early June, just before dawn. This heralds the Māori New Year. Various Māori tribes celebrated Matariki at different times. For all tribes, the importance of Matariki has been captured in proverbs and songs, which link it with the bright star Whānui (Vega): Ka puta Matariki ka rere Whānui. Matariki re-appears, Whānui starts its flight. Matariki is also associated with the winter solstice. Matariki in Greek myth According to Greek myth, the Pleiades are the seven daughters of Pleione and Atlas – Electra, Maia, Taygete, Alcyone, Celaeno, Asterope and Merope. Legends Matariki literally means the ‘eyes of god’ (mata ariki) or ‘little eyes’ (mata riki). Matariki and Puanga

Cycles of life and death - Matariki – Māori New Year Traditionally, Māori were keen observers of the night sky, determining from the stars the time and seasons, and using them to navigate the oceans. Lookouts would watch for the rise of Matariki just before dawn. For Māori, this time signified remembrance, fertility and celebration. Remembrance Haere atu rā e koro ki te paepae o Matariki, o Rehua. Haere atu rā. Farewell old man, go to the threshold of Matariki, of Rehua. In times of old, the sighting of Matariki was greeted with expressions of grief for those who had died since its last appearance. The old people might wait up several nights before the stars rose.
