In this episode, we explore pepeha.

Pepeha - 

• Tribal motto or saying
• Referencing landmarks and ancestors we belong to through whakapapa
• Whakapapa connections
• Introducing ourselves by way of saying who our people are
• Focus in on the collective rather than the individual 
• The purpose is to create connections with others
• 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 haere
• Ko…te waka, ko…te maunga, ko…awa, ko…
• Pepeha for Māori - pātai ki te whānau
• Pepeha for non-Māori
• Nō…aku tīpuna, e noho ana ahau i te maru o Maungawhau,
