Matariki

The mother fish told her seven little fish to stay close to the rocks and not play in the open sea because Tataraimaka, the giant, was putting out the net he made out of magic from flax from Spirits Bay.
The fish had so much fun playing tag that they forgot their mother’s warning. Tataraimaka laid out his net and all seven fish were caught in it. Tane, the god of light, felt so sad that he pulled up the seven fish and turned them into stars. Now those fish are known as Matariki and when you see these stars it means the Maori New Year is starting.
