The Tree of Life

Do you ever wonder what/who is the Tree of life?. Well the tree of life is the history of all the animals.For example if Orycteropus had a child then the child would start to evolve from its age and if they have a grand child then if that keeps happening then the father would start dying in there age but the same thing would start happening to the mother as well. I hope you enjoy.

Matariki Meanings

Matariki Meanings 

If your wondering what does Matariki mean it would usually be a
special celebration to all the Maori people including the children/
teens as well.If you don’t know when is Matariki at nighttime
you would be able/not be able to see the 7 Sisters/Stars
and their names are Waiti,Waita,Waipunarangi,Tupu-a
rangi,Tupu-a Nuku,Ururangi and lastly Matariki.
The story began when Matariki got pregnant with
6 sisters so either way this is still a very special
celebration but this time Matariki is on this Friday.
Traditionally, Matariki was a time to remember those
who had died in the last year. But it was also a happy event –
crops had been harvested and seafood and birds had been collected.
With plenty of food in the storehouses, Matariki was a time for singing,
dancing and feasting. Modern Matariki: Matariki, or Māori New Year
celebrations were once popular, but stopped in the 1940s. In 2000,
they were revived. Only a few people took part at first, but in just a
few years thousands were honouring the ‘New Zealand Thanksgiving’.
A special feature of Matariki celebrations is the flying of kites –
according to ancient custom they flutter close to the stars.
Matariki is the Māori name for the small cluster of
stars also known as the Pleiades or the Seven Sisters,
in the Taurus constellation. In New Zealand it comes
into view low on the north-eastern horizon, appearing
in the tail of the Milky Way in the last days of May or
in early June, just before dawn. This heralds the Māori
New Year.
