What is Matariki
In Aotearoa/New Zealand, the star cluster is known as Matariki. This name is a truncated version of the saying “Ngā Mata o te Ariki Tāwhirimātea” meaning “the eye of the god Tāwhirimātea” - and there's a growing trend to celebrate its pre-dawn rising at this time of the southern winter as the Māori New Year.
