What is Matariki?

Matariki is a Maori name for a cluster of stars known as Pleiades. It rises in mid winter.

What does Matariki mean? 

Matariki means Eyes of God (mata ariki) or little eyes of God (Matariki). According to myth Ranginui Sky Father and Papatuanuku Earth Mother were separated by their children. Tawhirimatea (God of the winds) pulled his eyes out and threw them into the heavens because he was so mad. 

Matariki was time for? 

Traditionally Matariki was a time to plant kumara and taro. Matariki was also a time for singing and dancing and kite flying. Matariki was once popular but in the 1940s it stopped in the early 2000s.
