Matariki Vocabulary Reading
Read: A Matariki evening
On a clear winter evening, Anahera and her whānau went outside to look at the sky. They searched for Matariki, a cluster of stars that appears in the morning sky at a special time of year. Anahera pointed to a bright whetū. “Whetū means star,” she said. Her koro explained that Matariki is a time to remember people who have died, spend time with whānau, and think about hopes for the future. Inside, everyone shared kai and told stories. Anahera felt thankful for her family and the land, or whenua, around them.
