When Rangi and Papātuanuku were separated, Tāwhirimātea was so sad that he threw his eyes up into the sky to make the stars of Matariki.

The well-known ethnologist Elsdon Best translated Matariki as 'little eyes' or 'small eyes' (mata = eye, riki = small). However, the name comes from the phrase 'Ngā mata o te ariki Tāwhirimātea', 'the eyes of the god Tāwhirimātea'. This name finds its origins in the separation of Ranginui and Papatūānuku.

Matariki is one of the closest star clusters to Earth Traditionally, Matariki was a time to acknowledge the dead and to release their spirits to become stars. It was also a time to reflect, to be thankful to the gods for the harvest, to feast and to share the bounty of the harvest with family and friends.

One day, Hiwiaterangi and Pōhutukawa got stolen by fairy people. Children made them stay up till daytime and when they saw the daytime they ran and left the stars behind. And then they threw the missing stars back to the cluster.

Matariki has been celebrated by the Māori people for hundreds of years, with its origins dating back to pre-European times. The exact year of the first Matariki celebration is not known, but it is believed to have been celebrated for centuries, possibly even millennia.

In Maori, Matariki means 'tiny eyes' or 'eyes of God'. The children of the earth mother Papatuanuku and sky father, Ranginui, were divided over whether to separate them and bring light and life to the earth. Eventually, Tane Mahuta, the god of the forest, laid on his back and used his feet to force them apart
