Every
year when the Matarki stars shine...
People
celebrate the Maori New Year. Once the world was dark because these parents together
Ranginai/sky and Papatunuku/earth so the
seven brothers pushed and pushed to separate them. Ranginui gets so angry and
rips out his eyes and those are the seven stars. Another legend says the stars
stand for the seven sisters up in the sky with their dad. That is why people celebrate.
People might celebrate with fireworks or a dance party or any other party but
of course not a birthday party. The stars will shine when it’s the Maori new
year.
