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.

Ko Meri Te Tai Mangakāhia, (1868-1920) nō Te Rarawa
Ko Meri Te Tai Mangakāhia te wahine tuatahi i tū ki te kōrero ki te Pāremata Māori o Te Kotahitanga? I whānau mai ia i te 22 o Mei 1868 i tētahi wāhi e tata ana ki Panguru i te moana o Te Hokianga. Ko tana tāne ko Hāmiora Mangakāhia, he rangatira o Hauraki i tohungia i 1892 hei Pirimia mō te Pāremata Māori, arā mō te Kotahitanga.
Nō te 18 o Mei i te tau 1893 i tū te hui a te Pāremata o te Kotahitanga i Heretaunga; ka puta te motini a Meri Te Tai Mangakāhia kia whai wāhi ngā wāhine ki te pōtitanga. Ka tū a Meri ki te tautoko ki tana mōtini i roto i te Pāremata – ko ia tonu te wahine tuatahi i kōrero ki taua huinga.
