PRESENTATION OUTLINE
One night, Ranginui the sky father and Papatuanuku the earth mother were close together, the sky was always night
The children felt trapped and wanted out because it was too dark
So they decided to split their parents apart, the parents woke up...
Someone was pushing them, it was Tane Mahuta their son
Until Tane Mahuta had split them apart, the children were free at last
Ranginui was so sad he cried, but someone else was sad too. Tawhiri of the winds felt sad for his parents so he cried but...
His tears were lightening, he threw his tears to the heavens and his tears became stars. We call these stars Matariki
