Matariki — The Nine Stars and Their Meanings (detailed) — free printable clipart

About this illustration

A detailed, fully-labelled educational poster about Matariki and its nine stars. The night-sky diagram numbers and names each of the nine stars with their associated domain (e.g. wellbeing, food from the ground, rain). Below the sky diagram is a numbered icon strip repeating each star's name and meaning, followed by a sequential action-flow strip showing seven steps for observing Matariki (Look to the sky → Observe the nine stars → Learn their meanings → Reflect on the past year → Plan and prepare for the year ahead → Care for whānau, hapū and the environment → Look forward with hope and purpose). Koru/spiral motifs frame the night-sky panel.
