Kia Ora and welcome to my blog! This week is ´Te Wiki o te reo Maori' which means, Maori language week. My culture! Hip Hip Hooray!
Today, I will be showcasing my pepeha, so you all know more about me, my culture and me.
Here is a what a pepeha looks like:
Tena koutou katoa.
Ko _______ toku mounga. (Mountain)
Ko _______ toku awa. (River)
Ko________ toku iwi. (Tribe) (Village)
Ko _______ toku waka. (Canoe)
Ko________ toku marae. (Meeting house)
No ________ ahau. (Where you are from)
Ko ________ toku kainga inaianei. (Where I currently live)
Ko________ toku kura. (School)
Ko _______ toku whanau.(Family)
Ko _______ toku matua. (Father)
Ko ______ toku whaea. (Mother)
Ko ______ toku ingoa. (My name is)
No reira, tena koutou, tena koutou, tena tatou katoa.
A pepeha is what maori culture use to show everyone who they are and where they come from.
Example : Ko ___ toku iwi. This means, my tribe is - (Finish off the sentence.) Here is how the sentence will be finished.
Ko Ngati Whatua me Nga Puhi toku iwi.
Ngati Whatua - Ngati Whatua is one of my tribes, coming from my fathers side. They are more known as the founders of Auckland city. And are currently living in Orakei. This iwi is well known and also a popular iwi in NZ.
Nga Puhi - Nga Puhi is another iwi of mine, coming from my mothers side of the family. This iwi is also well known and popular in New Zealand.
Besides this, above has an example of what a pepeha would look like.
Where it has the lines, you will finish the following sentence, with your iwi, waka mother of father.
Quick Tip:
If you are from Tonga, or Samoa or around the pacific, your iwi (Tribe) would be the village you come from. Example: Samoa: If you are from savaii, then youĺl write - Ko Savaii toku iwi.
Here is my DLO of my pepeha and I hope you enjoy reading!
