Here is the link to the legend about Rangi and Papa which not only explains how the world was created but also tell about the creation of Matariki.
Have another look at it and see if you can find another legend about Matariki. Tell us about it when you comment. Maybe you could also show this to your family.
If you would like to have another look at the news item about the Matariki kite celebrations in Paihia last year click the link below.
I have two Maori legends tom watch. Just copy paste these.

ReplyDeleteThanks Belinda and Evie. This is one of my favourite versions of Rangi and Papa. He is an AMAZING sand artist, isn't he? Miss Cowsill.
