Kuki Reka Kani - Matariki Star

Matariki Star Cookie Cutter Matariki is the Māori name for the Pleiades star cluster. According to Māori mythology, Matariki is the mother surrounded by her six daughters. However, there are nine stars in the cluster that represent different aspects of the natural world and are associated with various deities and guardians.
