Mānawatia a Matariki. In the Batt cave today we are celebrating Matariki, the Māori new year. We start by sharing a fantastic Matariki waiata by our friends Loopy Tunes in Ōtautahi/Christchurch. The star cluster, Matariki is important to many different cultures all over the world and has many names. In English it's called the Pleiades, in Japan Subaru and in China Mao. We share a story from the Wurundjeri people of south eastern Australia, who call the cluster, Karatgurk, after seven sisters and their flaming digging sticks.

This story (and catchy song) from the Batt Cave is from West Africa and is all about Anansi....the trickster spider man.
Anansi was a very smart but troublesome god who was changed into a spider by his father Nyame for not giving up his mischievous ways, and there are many traditional stories about Anansi - this is one of them.
