we are learning about myths and legends about of Matariki.
Once upon a time there were six maori brothers and
Meti was the youngest and his brothers were handsome,
Fine looking and strong. That they would only marry
anyone that is more beautiful than them.
The brothers went hunting on Pukemaire hill and they got
entrenched by the most beautiful sound but they were
Curious about the song sound so they followed the sound.
when they got there they found the most gorgeous girls with
Bright golden hair and with skin so shiny that they all
glowed.
All the brothers fell in love but expected for Meti and Meti
said that they were fairy woman that cold bring harm to
the village but the brothers didn’t take notice to Meti so they took
The girls to the village. They did not take part in village life
Instead they will just stay in the house bombing their
golden hair and singing. The brothers no longer went
hunting but will only go to get kai morna/seafood for their
wifes . Metis brothers no longer ate or looked
after their garden and his brothers began to get skinny
And Meti began to get more and more suspicious about
His brother’s wife's so Meti watched them closely
And he saw the wahine never left the Whare.
One day the oldest brother woke up early to go
Fishing he called for his wife but she was no where to be
Found. Meti searching for the brother wife but
they were Never found then Roingo went in a rage telling Meti how
They vanished. Meti’s suspiciousness was growing more. After
Meti decided to set the advice of Terafather after listening
To the story Meti’s Karowa agreed that the wahine are
Sertonly patupaiarehe The patupaiarehe youst to live on
Pupkimitia hill until our people came they have long been
Trying to return here he told Meti that you must watch
Them closely. The next morning Meti hid behind a tree
behind of oldest brother Whare, he waited and waited and
Waited. Meti almost given up but when he noticed 6 niwaka
Sitting close to the Whare and to his amazement a sevenst
came out of the wharea to join the others. Meti transformed
Into a kedu and followed the birds to the maunga of norataha.
Meti perched to the top and watched,patupaiarehe they
planned on starfing his brothers to death Meti quickly returned
To the village and told his brothers about their terrible plan.
Firstly they did not listen to Meti until Meti told them to look at
each other you were big strong man now look at yous all
You are just skin and bones. Metis brothers said he was right
But his brothers said what are we gonna do Meti said we
are going to terafa the torang gave each brother a magic
net to catch the fairy woman. The next day the brothers
hid waiting for there bird wife’s to come out of the Whare
and right as the six niwaka came out of the Whare the
brothers throwed the net over on the niwaka and Meti’s
brothers wife’s transformed back into a human begging
To be released. Meti turns in to a albatross taking his
brothers wife's to the god of the night sky and told him/her
To take them as far from the earth. At night the god of the
night sky lets them shine.
