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.
