Te Kāhui o Matariki

The Matariki star cluster with names.

Matariki is the Māori name for the cluster of stars that signal the beginning of a new year.

As the stories of Matariki differ between different iwi and hapu groups, so do the spelling of the stars' names. Note that some spellings use hyphens and others do not.
