4,500 year ago the migrations into the Pacific began and, the traditions of the Seven Sisters (Matariki) were carried into the Pacific by the Polynesians. In the dawn of early June, Matariki, the food bringer and her seven daughers rise the shoulder of Rangi to herald the beginning of the Maori New Year. At this time we see all the posts that hold up Rangi. The posts are stars. They are the basis of Maori astronomy. Also at this time, in the south, the Waka of Tama-rereti is berthed in the eyebrow of the sky. the stars of this waka are the basis of Polynesian navigation. In this presentation we explore the ancient legends and meanings of Matariki. We also explore the physical nature of this cluster of stars. Bookings are essential.
