Matariki

1. What is Matariki and what are all its other names?
Maori New Year, Seven Sisters, Matariki, Pleiades Star Cluster

2.What significance does it have in other cultures from history? The stars indicated if the crops would grow good for allot of countries and the U.K was one apparently

3. How did Maori use it in more traditional times, like when they were travelling the Pacific or trying to survive in Aotearoa hundreds of years ago before Pakeha came here?
The Maori used Matariki was used for the crop planting and travelling.
