3 The Māori Race Their sight was so unusually strong that they saw more stars than we can, and could distinguish nebulae better. Mr. Colenso asserts that he has proved that natives could see satellites of Jupiter with the naked eye, as he has stood by the observers with his naked telescope and watched while they gave the time of a satellites eclipse. 3
4 The Māori Race One or more schools of astronomy were found outside every important village. Such a school was open every night from twilight to dawn, but no one was allowed to enter it between sunrise and sunset, or to sleep there in. The priests and chiefs used it as a meeting place in which to speak of planting crops, hunting, fishing and other matters connected with food gathering, but more especially as to the manner in which the stars governed these occupations and guided operations.

43 According to Stuff.co.nz 6 th June 2016 MATARIKI OBSERVANCE (JUNE 6, 2016) Matariki Mata Riki (Tiny Eyes) or Mata Ariki (Eyes of God) is the Maori name for the group of stars also known as the Pleiades star cluster or the Seven Sisters. They are a group of young stars glowing in the gas and dust of the nebula from which they formed. Matariki is the name for the traditional Maori new year. This is marked by the rise of Matariki and the sighting of the next new moon. The pre dawn rise of Matariki can be seen in the last few days of May every year and the new year is marked at the sighting of the next new moon which occurs during June. Traditionally, depending on the visibility of Matariki, the coming season's crop was thought to be determined. The brighter the stars, the warmer the season would be, bringing a more productive crop. 43
