Mōrena Sanaa, I hope you are having a fantastic day!
Thank you so much for sharing your pepeha! It’s a really special thing to read to get to know someone and their background a little better. I liked how you wrote both the Maori and English versions, as this is helpful for the viewers of your blog if they don’t speak Maori. I also like how you’ve used black writing on a colourful, background - this makes it easy to read. If you were to do it again, would you add anything else?
I did my pepeha a few months ago and I enjoyed doing it as It made me think about my family, my home, and my background, although I am still trying to learn it off by heart! Here it is:
Ko Mount Iron te maunga (Mount Iron is my mountain)
Ko Cheltenham te awa (Cheltenham is my river/water)
Ko University of Auckland tōku kura (University of Auckland is my school)
Nō Tāmaki Makaurau ahau (Auckland is my town/city/country)
Ko Eliza tōku ingoa (Eliza is my first name)
Thanks for your awesome post, have a great rest of your day!
