Pepeha: My Mihi

Continuing our Treaty of Waitangi topic, today we were tasked to make a 'Mihi' which I have made a few years ago. We also looked at the Maori culture which involved Waka, Iwi and the culture that connects the people of New Zealand. Here are my notes about Iwi and my Mihi. 

Notes:

Iwi defines as bones and refers to someone’s relevant background.

Ngati defines as descended from, and is usually heard before an iwi is mentioned. 

A person would identify with a mountain, an ocean, a lake and the land around their tribal area. 

My Mihi:

Ko Makiling toku maunga

Ko Pacific toku moana

Ko Pasig toku awa

Ko Laguna toku rohe

Ko Vann Manaig ingoa

Nō reira, tēna koutou, tēna koutou, tēna koutou katoa.
