Matariki
Do you know what Matriki means
well you are about to find out . Did you that matariki is a constellation of stars called seven sisters that come out at Maori new year they appear around end of may and begging of June. At Maori new year people used have something called a storage house in Maori that is pataka kia
also the land we are livening on right now is called whenua , and around Matariki lots of pepole spend lots time with there family so we Maori
call it whanua and whakpapa means ancestry . Maori believe that if the stars where clear and bright it would be a warm season,and if they where gloomy it would be a bad and cold season. two whys that Maori celebrated matariki having a big fest or go to the beach . Hopefully you found out something about mattariki .

Fiji
Bula, fiji is my country it is located in oceania. It has a population of 898,760 people, it has 330 islands and they are all populated.
The 3 official languages are Fijian English and Fiji Hindi. Over half of Fiji's islands do not have access to clean water, which is crazy given the fact that Fiji's main export is water.
Vinaka is how you say thanks in Fijian, nia sa bula means how are you, and I am happy today is au maru. Whales teeth are highly priced in Fiji and they are given for marriage or an apology.
Moce (that means goodbye!)
