Summary:
TVNZ informs there is a Maori astronomer that claims there are 9 stars instead of 7 stars in Matariki. A man named Dr Rangi Matamua that there is Waiti and Pohutukawa. He then talks about having an extra month, 13 months, in every 3 years or so. This because of the constellations and the time telling by using the stars.
Critical Literacy:
In whose interest is this?
- in my opinion, this text is targeting Maori related people. This is due to their religion and strong belief in Matariki.
What genre does this belong to?
- This genre probably belongs to the news and more of a religious Maori community.
Hi Reige. I like the way you formatted your blog post. I also did my reflection section on this Te Karere article so I connected with your post. Maybe next time you could talk about what Matariki is and why it is significant.
