Congratulations, you've found whetū Tupuārangi.
The whetū Tupuārangi is associated with kai (food) gathered from above, including birds, berries and fruit. In te ao Māori, Tupuārangi is connected to the forests and skies, reminding us to appreciate the abundance and nourishment provided by the natural world.
As Matariki marks the start of a new year, Tupuārangi encourages us to reconnect with nature and value the gifts found in our ngahere and gardens. Whether it's harvesting seasonal fruit, gathering fresh kai, or sharing food with whānau and friends, this whetū celebrates generosity, gratitude and community.
