The Matariki is the Māori name for the cluster of stars also known as the Pleiades. The Pleiades are to be found near the plane of the ecliptic and therefore are only seen when Earth is on the same side of the Sun to them. Thus the Matariki can not always be seen in the night sky.
Since that can easily be seen with the naked eye, we can be reasonably sure that it was seen in prehistoric times.
Matariki is a star cluster in the New Zealand night sky that marks the start of the Maori New Year. The legend of Matariki varies among Maori tribes, but it usually involves a mother and her daughters who are pursued by an abusive husband. They seek refuge in the sky, becoming the stars of Matariki. The appearance of Matariki is seen as a time for reflection, remembrance, and celebration in Maori culture.
