Matariki Te Whetū o te Tau | Dr Rangi Matamua and Living by the Stars & CORE Education 

Kia Ora ! Hello ! I am from New Zealand and am mixed Maori and Pakeha (European) I have for a long time believed Maori are much more then their arrival onto New Zealand, there is also so much talk of even more ancient beings inhabiting NZ long before Maori arrival, I think NZ as a country is more ancient then we think and are taught, so many secrets to this land, I think this goes for many places in the world, so cool to see the similarities you came across :)

Amazing! Wairimu! What a great name and heritage you have! I have a strong affinity to your continent and the many cultures. The more I listen to the history the more I'm in awe. Have you visited NZ/Aotearoa yet?

Hi Wairimu I am Kiwi of Euro descent (170+ years) in NZ. While tribes can be fun (or not ..see Scottish history) I believe we must see more widely! seems we (ALL OF US ) are actually out of AFRICA !! some of us got bleached on the outside but we are same blood! Education is the one method we have to use to get along in this wonderful world. Love to meet

Haha, hi guys. Thanks for the replies. I think haplogroups would explain how the seeming connection might have come about. Bantu are haplogroup E as are majority Africans and all Bantu related peoples including Yoruba, Senegalese etc. Now hap E share a father of origin DE with hap D. And hap D is generally prevalent amongst east Asians. And Maori people are east Asian in origin aren't they? Hap D is the Jarawa found on the islands in India of which east Asians have a high admixture of. So that's likely it. Oh and greetings, kia ora. We have 'Kiaora' as a name in my community. Our greetings similar to yours are 'kia awa' and 'kia maitu'. Our community's founding father is TENE. Tene names still exist in Maori, I've seen Katene, Watene. We have Watene, Tene. You have 'Waititi', we have 'Waititu'. 'ha hona' for you for healer, for us ha hona means it has healed. Tangata for people for you for us Tangata and its variations including 'tungata' for governing a people. You have 'rangatira', we have 'rangatira' and so on. My community has words with similar meanings with the Japanese and Chinese too. Thus the linkages are broad. Japanese 'Ikigai', we have 'Igai' both purpose. Heart 'koro' in Japanese, 'ngoro' in my community and 'enkoro' amongst other Bantu etc. 'Hua' flower in Chinese, 'ihua' flower in my community etc thus most likely the haplogroup DE shared origins of Africans and East Asians. I however don't think Maori have anything to do with African, I think they are strictly Asian in origins besides kiwi. Kind regards.

That’s really amazing Maori have their voyage routes from all over the world. Asian, South American, Egyptian etc

Wait I was born there

And now I love greymouth

It's translated on screen when Rangi starts his prayer at the beginning of his presentation.

To my knowledge e hoa... This was from Rangi Matamua's 1898 scripts from his koroua. The 7 star cluster was from a man Haamiora Pio who then told Best then Best got that word out. But in no other records or references can this korero be found thus far about the 7 sisters. So yeah he's going off his learnings from his koro
