The seven stars of the Māori are known as the "Matariki" cluster, which corresponds to the Pleiades star cluster. The names of the seven stars in this context are: Tupu-a-nuku, Tupu-a-rangi, Waiti, Waita, Waipunarangi, Rehua, and Matariki. Each star holds significance in Māori culture and is associated with different aspects of life, such as agriculture, fishing, and the changing seasons. Matariki itself marks the start of the Māori New Year, celebrating renewal and remembrance.
