Did you know our Tūpuna (ancestors) would look to Matariki for help with their harvesting?
When Matariki disappeared in April/May, it was time to preserve crops for the winter season.
When it re-appeared in June/July, Tüpuna would read the stars to predict the upcoming season - clear and bright stars promised a warm and abundant winter, while hazy stars warned of a bleak winter.
The rising of Matariki and the beginning of winter was a time when Maori had finished harvesting their crops and were filling their pataka kai (storage houses). With kai plentiful, Matariki was a time to come together and share this kai with one another.
