It is said our ancestors placed this knowledge and history in the skies so that wherever they travelled across the world they would see and be reminded of these stories of their homeland. We refer to this as Hawaikirangi. Those same stories exist today in the stars and in the skies for today and for future generations.
Māori title
Ko te kōrero, nā ō tātou tīpuna i tokona ai ēnei mātauranga, kōrero tuku iho hoki ki ngā rangi. Ahakoa ki hea haere ai rātou i te ao, ka kitea mai, ka raumahara rātou ki ēnei kōrero e pā ana ki tō rātou kāinga. Koia tēnei ko Hawaikirangi. I ēnei rā, e whēroki tonu mai ana ēnei kōrero tuku iho i ngā whetū i te rangi mō ngā whakatipuranga ki tua.
