Kia Ora Angelina, This is Patricia here from the Summer Learning Journey team. Well done for making a video of you mihi. However, this task requires you to do a pepeha , not a mihi. The mihi is an acknowledgement whilst the pepeha is the way to introduce yourself in Maori. I know that in the pepeha some information can be a bit tricky to find, such as your waka, you can skip this one. For your tribe you can use your family surname. If you are not sure about something I would recommend you to talk to your parents and ask them to help you out with this specific task. For example, my pepeha would go like that: Ko Fortaleza te maunga ( this is a national park with lots of mountains and waterfalls that I used to go a lot when I was growing up) Ko Guaiba te awa ( this is the river in my home birth city)
Please use the template bellow and just add your information: Ko ________________________ te maunga The mountain that I affiliate* to is…
Ko ________________________ te awa The river that I affiliate to is….
Ko ________________________ te waka The waka that I affiliate to is…
Ko ________________________ tōku tīpuna My founding ancestor is…
Ko ________________________ tōku iwi My tribe is…
Ko ________________________ tōku hapu My sub-tribe is…
Ko ________________________ tōku marae My marae is…
Ko ________________________ ahau I am from…
Ko________ rāua ko ___________ōku mātua My parents are … and …
Ko ________________________ tōku ingoa. My name is …
