The seven sisters of Matariki

WALT
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
