Mihimihi - Introductory speech
Today you will learn to say a simple mihi to introduce yourselfKo ____ tōku ingoa (name)
Nō ____ ōku tūpuna (where your ancestors came from)
Kei ____ ōku kainga (where you live)
In te ao Māori the word "Nō" refers to belonging to or where you originally come from. Although many of us have lived in NZ for many years, the answer to the question Nō hea koe? (Where do you come from?) should take you to the origins of your ancestors.

Mihimihi
A mihi (or mihimihi) is an introduction which can take place at the beginning of a gathering or meeting. It is used to establish links with other people present and let people know who you are, and where you come from.
This shares similarities with a traditional pepeha. A pepeha is the traditional Māori way to introduce oneself. It connects us to our whakapapa and ancestors, tracing our connection to maunga, waka, awa, and more. Standing and sharing pepeha is how Māori introduce themselves and make links with others, mostly in formal situations.

Tōku Pepeha
Learning outcomes:
Students will be able to:
understand the concept of pepeha
A pepeha connects us to our whakapapa. In te ao Māori, it takes us back to the creation of the world.
Pepeha
In a pepeha, we first acknowledge the landmarks, oceans and rivers that were created before us. We then acknowledge the waka that brought our people (iwi & hapū) to Aotearoa. Once the waka found land and tribes settled they built wharenui & whare kai on there marae.
The Māori world view (te ao Māori) acknowledges the interconnectedness and interrelationship of all living & non-living things. Your pepeha is a way to anchor yourself to the whenua (land) where your ancestors came from.
