In this episode, we explore pepeha. Notes: • Pepeha might be defined as a tribal motto or saying • Pepeha references waka, landmarks, and ancestors we belong to • It is an expression of whakapapa • We introduce ourselves by saying who our people are and where we belong • The focus is on the collective rather than the individual • When we recite pepeha we establish connections with others Examples: • Ko Taupō te moana, Ko Tongariro te maunga, ko Te Heuheu te tangata • Ko Waikato te awa, he piko he tanwha, he piko he taniwha • Ehara a Hikurangi i te maunga nekeneke • Ko…te waka, ko…te maunga, ko…awa, ko…te iwi, ko...te hapū, ko...te marae • We discuss pepeha for Māori and non-Māori The Everyday Māori Podcast is supported by Te Mātāwai as a part of its contribution to Maihi Māori - Kia ūkaipō anō te reo.
