My #Pepehā

Tēnā koutou
Ko Titirangi te maunga
Ko Manukau te moana
Ko Whau te awa
Nō Ingarangi, Tenemāka, Hāmene, me Aerana ahau
Ko Reuben tōku ingoa
Tēnā koutou, Tēnā koutou, Tēnā koutou katoa

@DrBex Thank you, these look great!
#Pepeha #TangataTiriti

@DrBex I’ve used a very simple one which I was told does not make any whenua claims at all but simply provides context for who I am and where from, but I’d be interested to know either way:

Kia Ora Tātou
Ko Taranaki te maunga
Ko Ohawe te awa
Nō Hāwera ahau
Ko Shera tōku whānau
Ko Rick tōku ingoa
Tēnā kotou Tēnā kotou Tēnā kotou katoa

#pepeha

Someone on here (sorry can't remember who!!) was asking about creating pepeha as Paakehaa, specially they were asking about how to link to areas of geographic significance. May I offer a series of templates that I, as Paakehaa have found useful for introducing myself - without inappropriately appropriating a whakapapa that is not mine to claim.

The first template: pepeha for paakehaa and tauiwi

Beautiful rendition of #pepeha #six60 in #auckland last night ❤️

Ko Titirangi toku maunga, Manukau toku Moana
Ko Simon Young toku ingoa
Tena tatou katoa #pepeha #TeReo #tereomaori #maoritanga
