WELCOME! PLEASE INTRODUCE YOURSELF💕

Thank you for being here and joining our community. When you’re ready, we invite you to introduce yourself.

In Aotearoa NZ, Māori often share a pepeha — a traditional way of introducing oneself through connections to place, whakapapa-geneology, and identity. A pepeha speaks to your mountain, your river, your land, and your people. It grounds you in where you come from and helps others understand who you are through your ties to the whenua-land.

There is also the mihi, a more general introduction that reflects where you grew up, where you live now, where you call home, the work you do, and of course, your name. These forms of introduction help us find shared connections — familiar landscapes, family names, or life experiences.

Feel free to use any of the prompts below to craft your pepeha or mihi:

Where are you from?
Where did you grow up?
Where do you live now?
Where do you call home?
What is the mountain closest to where you live?
What is the nearest body of water? (river, lake, ocean, stream)
What is your full name?
Where is your family name from?
What do you do for work?
