THE 9 SISTERS OF MATARATA
Matariki is the Maori New Year and in English Matariki means tiny eyes or eyes of God.
Matariki day changes every year but it's usually celebrated around mid may or mid june. You also have to see matariki stars.
Matariki is celebrated for remembering our ancestors, telling stories, sharing food, and singing songs. Lots of people celebrated it by Watching the Fireworks in New Brighton, and eating marshmallows .
Next year I'm gonna do both and bake matariki cookies, and they're gonna be made out of crumbles of other cookies on top, and white frosting like cookies and cream.
What is the Matariki Myth, story? There were once 9 sisters who got covered in white paint and then a god came out of the sky and said YOU ARE THE CHOSEN ONE and Sent them into the sky! And that the Myth of Matariki.
Pax you started out explaining Matariki for us but your Matariki myth is an imaginative story. An explanation is factual information. It is okay to write a make believe myth but as a separate story. Who will you spend Matariki with next year?
