Navigation by the stars

LI: to learn about Matariki

 

For Inquiry we we learning more about Matariki. Matariki is a celebration and the New Year for Maoris. The Maori New Year is in June, and is oriented to harvesting, crops, and gathering with families and friends. In this DLO it shows how Polynesians back in the days navigated. Polynesian Navigators were really skilled and used Mother Natures and crops, to find out what season it was, how to navigate, find land, and much more.

  2. Hello Chris

    It is cool how the Maori people used nature & their surroundings to find new land. I also like how you have explained that they used crops to check the season. Great Job.
