The Southern Cross (the Southern Hemisphere's version of our Big Dipper) is 5 stars and is visible to all of Polynesia except Hawaii*. That would help explain the 5 stars on the flags but they are usually represented in this pattern

Not very similar to the pattern of your stars unless you would call that a stylized version.

*The Southern Cross CAN be view from Hawaii but only for a couple weeks in January and just for a few minutes before dawn
