Matariki Te Whetū o te Tau | Dr Rangi Matamua and Living by the Stars & CORE Education

[@wairimumungai7885]

'Tariki' in my community is a word that means 'date'. Like a calendar date not the fruit. Hi Maori people I am Kenyan Bantu from the Agikuyu tribe and I think the Maori people and the Agikuyu are ancient kin. I've come to learn that my culture is like a padlock, and the Maori culture and language etc are the keys to unlocking it. You guys are the originals. Our culture(Agikuyu), whilst still maintaining a lot of its ancientness, has been processed over millennia. Surprisingly though, the Maori culture greatly helps explain the why's of many things in my culture. My name is Wairimu and over 10 years ago, I did a Google search of my name and by then, there was hardly any African based content on Google. So Google approximated my name as a Maori name. That was the first time I came across or even heard of the Maori people. I didn't dwell on that Google find but it did register at the back of my mind. So in 2020 during covid and out of nowhere I decided to search Maori language out of curiosity to see if we share words with similar meaning as a way to establish that maybe we're connected in one way or another. Boy oh boy! Google wasn't wrong all those years ago. Turns out we still share words with similar meaning. I've since come to learn that my language is an Austronesian-Polynesian-Bantu language. Maori and Maori culture are a very ancient btw. Don't let people convince you that the stories you carry were recently formed on the New Zealand island. Nah!

[@SJ-vy5ji]

Kia Ora ! Hello ! I am from New Zealand and am mixed Maori and Pakeha (European) I have for a long time believed Maori are much more then their arrival onto New Zealand, there is also so much talk of even more ancient beings inhabiting NZ long before Maori arrival, I think NZ as a country is more ancient then we think and are taught, so many secrets to this land, I think this goes for many places in the world, so cool to see the similarities you came across :)

[@moanarangi8149]

Amazing! Wairimu! What a great name and heritage you have! I have a strong affinity to your continent and the many cultures. The more I listen to the history the more I'm in awe. Have you visited NZ/Aotearoa yet?

[@richardbruce8111]

Hi Wairimu I am Kiwi of Euro descent (170+ years) in NZ. While tribes can be fun (or not ..see Scottish history) I believe we must see more widely! seems we (ALL OF US ) are actually out of AFRICA !! some of us got bleached on the outside but we are same blood! Education is the one method we have to use to get along in this wonderful world. Love to meet

[@wairimumungai7885]

Haha, hi guys. Thanks for the replies. I think haplogroups would explain how the seeming connection might have come about. Bantu are haplogroup E as are majority Africans and all Bantu related peoples including Yoruba, Senegalese etc. Now hap E share a father of origin DE with hap D. And hap D is generally prevalent amongst east Asians. And Maori people are east Asian in origin aren't they? Hap D is the Jarawa found on the islands in India of which east Asians have a high admixture of. So that's likely it. Oh and greetings, kia ora. We have 'Kiaora' as a name in my community. Our greetings similar to yours are 'kia awa' and 'kia maitu'. Our community's founding father is TENE. Tene names still exist in Maori, I've seen Katene, Watene. We have Watene, Tene. You have 'Waititi', we have 'Waititu'. 'ha hona' for you for healer, for us ha hona means it has healed. Tangata for people for you for us Tangata and its variations including 'tungata' for governing a people. You have 'rangatira', we have 'rangatira' and so on. My community has words with similar meanings with the Japanese and Chinese too. Thus the linkages are broad. Japanese 'Ikigai', we have 'Igai' both purpose. Heart 'koro' in Japanese, 'ngoro' in my community and 'enkoro' amongst other Bantu etc. 'Hua' flower in Chinese, 'ihua' flower in my community etc thus most likely the haplogroup DE shared origins of Africans and East Asians. I however don't think Maori have anything to do with African, I think they are strictly Asian in origins besides kiwi. Kind regards.

[@solwynsinclair1853]

That’s really amazing Maori have their voyage routes from all over the world. Asian, South American, Egyptian etc

[@clairecas123]

Such a great presentation with much needed information and relevant resource. Having just immigrated from the northern hemisphere it felt so weird to be celebrating all the regular holidays ( Christmas, Easter etc.) completely out of context to their seasonal context. Thank you making this info so accessible.

[@awetaiwan]

this beautiful story, presentation never gets old. Rangi, and all involved u changed my life. i cannot see the stars differently now than beings that care, warn, influence, speak to our lives

[@vtech7457]

Friday 14 2023...very awesome watch Dr Rangi Matamua...Got up at 4.30am searched Matariki and came across this very descriptive teaching...Love your Mahi bro...Happy Matariki to all...

[@martharewi7569]

Kia ora Matua, for the first time in my life, I've come to know a bit more about Matariki, and that it makes sense how nature tells us when its ready to provide kai and not man dictating otherwise, I love how the luna calendar is customized depending on where we live, its no secret man has no power over nature anyway. Loved this korero, and shall start actively using that maramataka❤

[@tapapa21]

This was an amazing learning that I am so happy that I spent the time to watch, we are celebrating our Matariki in Australia in the Pilbara with the Tangata Whenua o te Rohe me wahi te Yinhawangka People Very thankful for every bit of information and knowledge that was shared and I am really looking forward to celebrating Matariki and continuing to learn and acknowledge Living By The Stars ✨ ❤️

Ngā mihi nui! awesome presentation matua, I thoughly enjoyed it, I'm new to this concept of time/ phases and I look forward to celebrating Matariki and my 30th on the same day 🌠

[@TuWhareToa73]

I now understand why we here in Te Arawa see the placements of the stars differently, Awesome presentation

[@MaxGAVIN-jw4gj]

can't wait for the holiday

[@faithzhou7789]

Very useful for an foreign ECE student like me. I'm preparing matariki celebration. Definitely have no idea where to start and this video helps a lot.

[@desraetownsend2741]

My interest in matariki came from one of my youngest cousin from my mothers brother whom name is Matariki...

[@tetapuaroberts1502]

Nga mihi matua Thank you very much. This is the best and only explanation of matariki I will profusely study.

[@danwalker4064]

Kia Ora Rangi This is Beautiful thankyou i will teach my children...they are Tuhoe on their dads side

[@phillipegen8471]

Wow this was awesome to listen to and get a real idea of what Matariki is all about. I am excited to keep on this journey of knowledge and understanding and to talk about it to my whanau and see it and try to get a real grip on the lunar cycle. Thank you for sharing this and explaining so well to us all.kia ora

[@ronadominictepania7318]

I cannot find words to describe you on your lecture about the sun, moon and mainly the stars. I always acknowledge the sun, moon and the stars but I didn't realise in depth about our universe. I just like to say this is flawless 1 of the best KZbin Maori Doc's I have seen in a very long time. If you ever come to Perth Australia to do a lecture on stars I know I will be there. God bless

Beautiful explanation, I showed it to the residents so that they can understand more the meaning

[@lkuc06]

This story and many more about the Maori Gods need to be made into anime immediately!

[@richardbruce8111]

Thank you Dr Rangi for explaining Elisdon Bests account of the "Little Eyes" term. I appreciate your recognising the recent origin of terms some claim as "ancient Knowledge", So too the term "Aotearoa" ( a "pakiha" construct!) I have a poem of the 1860s pleading "Change Not The Name "( ,from "New Zealand" ) -some discussions have long beards!. I am so in favour of a midwinter outdoor celebration , bonfire, Hangi. Dance ..& FIREWORKS yeah ! constructive melding of culture!

[@inhurisdays6228]

So are these maori gods sources of the ste stars or what significance do they have and who named them and is it mythology inspired by the greek mythological stories or made up or what

[@Trilogy...]

Māori Myths & Legends are from Māori to Māori & now all can hear them… our stories are Ancient & similar to all the Ancient Gods/ Goddess stories that the world is familiar with. We’ve held & kept them within our family & communities from the beginning of our own knowledge, this was not learned or taken from another culture. This is US, Our Way of being/ thinking/ believing/ connecting/ understanding 😅 we’re not the same, we can not assimilate to anyone else’s ways, WE HAVE OUR OWN, we kinda always have, so it’s wonderful to be heard & seen for WHO. WE. Māori ARE… Let us share US with you ❤ Allow US space to be & show everyone without shrouding it with other Cultures/ Races/ Religions information that is respectfully THEIRS 😮 We deserve the same respect, this is the first time we’ve NOT been suppressed & we’ve always had our own separate stories, way of seeing & being in the universe. We’re still coming from out of colonialism trying to keep what you heard here. ❤ 🙌 but you’re right! more information is needed

[@bonniepaora8664]

The calendar difference, is this why in the gregorian calendar the seasons are so unreliable? Because the calendar is rigid and does not pay attention to the environment or its differences?

[@Tutehanga]

In the story of the creation where Taane is creating the night sky with all the whetu really sound like tangata aatea Matua, heoi, no tua. I kii mai koe "a waka capable of celestial travel". Similar to alot of cultures throughout time with the very same korero. Should check this korero out about the creation, by a matakite who channels a wairua kei tua. kzbin.info/www/bejne/ipiuZX-IoKuAkMU

[@winiatasoper6199]

matariki star cluster. Does it hold the enough objectional correctness to validate matariki a habitat for life to exist in relation to maori astrological traditional cultural truths that are the fundamentals of the fourth dimension . correct application of karakia with enhanced vibrational oscillation influencing light, space, time, reality , welcome to the fourth dimension where matter does not matter please contact your local tohunga

[@ducemakapeluturvey9509]

To my knowledge e hoa... This was from Rangi Matamua's 1898 scripts from his koroua. The 7 star cluster was from a man Haamiora Pio who then told Best then Best got that word out. But in no other records or references can this korero be found thus far about the 7 sisters. So yeah he's going off his learnings from his koro
