Glossaries
TE REO MĀORI
Unfortunately there is no comprehensive glossary on Astronomy in Te Reo Māori (at least to our knowledge).
Below are suggestions for a few websites that give translations of astronomical terms and concepts, as well as general information
on Māori Astronomy (Taatai Arorangi).
|
Pixieplots, a website on Māori star and constellation names. |
|
Society of Maori Astronomy Research and Traditions, a website centered around Māori astronomical knowledge and traditions. |
|
Living by the Stars with Dr. Rangi Matamua, Facebook Group. |
|
Also check out our Ebook on Matariki and the New Year celebrations of the New Zealand Māori in the EBook section. |
