Ko Matariki, te whetū o te tau
He kāhui whetū e whitu a Matariki, e mōhiotia nei ko Pleiades. I ia hōtoke, ko te putanga mai o Matariki hei whakaatu mai kua pau te tau tawhito, kua tīmata he tau hou. Mai rā anō, ko te putanga mai o Matariki he wā whakanui, he wā whakatikatika hoki mō te tau hou.
He wā whakareri a Matariki i te whenua. I waenganui o te hōtoke i te wā o Matariki, e āhua moe kē ana te whenua. Ka whakatōngia he hua whenua hei koha ki ngā atua o te whenua. Ka tata te kōanga te tae mai, kāhore atu he wā i te wā o Matariki hei whakatakoto kaupapa mō te whenua, mō ngā mahi whenua hoki o te kōanga āianei. He wā pai hoki hei ako i ngā āhuatanga o te whenua me te ngahere.
