Term Two 2013

Week Nine & Ten:

Students will do some family research in preparation for their own whaikorero. Starting with Pepeha to add on to their Mihimihi

The pepeha/mihimihi is the way to introduce yourself in Maori.

Maori believe that we are the children of the whenua, of the moana and of our tupuna.

To introduce ourselves we should tell the story of how we arrived here, and the story does not start with ourselves!!! But before we journey back in time we should anchor ourselves to this whenua. Mau is hold, therefore our Maunga (mountain) will anchor us here.

Using Te is saying that such and such is the mountain etc. However, remember about each Iwi having different tikanga? What is the mountain for one is not the mountain for another.

Using Taku implies that you are superior to what you are talking about.

Using Toku implies what you are talking about is superior to you.

Here is an example of a simple Pepeha

Ko (name of your waka) te waka

My canoe is (name of your waka)

Ko (name of your mountain) te maunga

My mountain is (name of your mountain)

Ko (name of your river) te awa

My river is (name of your river)

Ko (name of your tribe) te iwi

My tribe is (name of your tribe)

Ko (name of your sub tribe) te hapū

My sub tribe is (name of your sub tribe)

Ko (name of your chief) te rangatira

(Name of your chief) is the chief

Ko (name of your marae) te marae

My marae is (name of your marae)

Ko (your name) ahau

I am (your name)

You can acknowledge both parents if you wish. For example: You father might be from Ngapuhi and you mother from Tainui, so you could do a Pepeha for both. If your parents are from another country you can still find out the names of their tribe/village, Mountains etc. If you can't find any of the information from your whānau, you can use our school Pepeha for the Pt England area.

Karakia / Blessing to set up our day.

Written by Patrick Gemmell for Pt England School

Ki ngā hau o ngā rangi mai tawhiti

E rere iho nei ki te moana

Kawea nei i o mātou whakaaro

Hei whetū mārama

Mo ngā mahi kei te whai mai.

Kōkiri tōku hāere

I te ao e, i te ao e …

To the prevailing wind which ascend from afar

Toward a coastal tide

Carry with you our inner thoughts

Imprint them among the heavens, as a guiding constellation

For the tasks ahead

To strengthen my journey

Each day, each day …

What is Karakia? To recite a ritual chant to invoke our ancestral presence to aid in our journey
