It was late June and I decided that I wanted to try and find the matariki star cluster. So I found the southern cross I head east, I saw the brightest stars in our night sky called
henetakarua I stared at it for a little then i decided to move on. I found 3 bright stars named Tautoru apparently some people see a bottom of a pot but I saw the orions pot. But I heard that Tautoru can point you the right way. I saw Te Matakaheru it was a triangle shaped constellation it was linked to a triangle shaped tinui spade of the same name. Now just off its shoulder we will see a bright cluster of stars, this is matariki. With a telescope you
would be able to see hundreds of stars but with the naked eye we can just point out 7-9 of the
brightest stars. This is what we know in Aotearoa as matariki. Mum got the feast and
we sat outside, the kumara was my favourite. That's how you find matariki.
