Waipunarangi - Matariki Stars

A third daughter is taken to the waters (te awa) of the sea, and rivers, and lakes. Waipunarangi is her name. Papatūānuku teaches her to watch carefully as the water falls from the sky, flows and freshens the land, quenches their thirst, and returns to the sky. Her wisdom is that in the same way if she shares kindness it too will be returned to her. This is the lesson she gifts forward to others.
