(maramataka) The moon phases.

 WALT:understand and explain concepts of traditional Maori time telling.

Did you know that it takes 360 1/2 days for the earth to go around the sun. Before the sun rises there are stars that the Maori  ancestors would look for on the east horizon.

Tuesday is associated with the god of war and  mars. 

I wonder: how did Maori know when it was time to have breakfast, lunch and dinner.
