Matariki is the Māori name for the cluster of stars also known as the Pleiades. It rises in mid-winter – late May or early June. For many Māori, it heralds the start of a new year. Matariki literally means the 'eyes of god' (mata ariki) or 'little eyes' (mata riki).

I created a fold out booklet with information on Matariki which folds out to become a calender to show the significant dates of Matariki and phases of the moon.
