This week I am sharing my Pepeha with you. A Pepeha is a Maori language way of sharing information about yourself. In this video I will tell you about these things: My mountain, river, canoe, tribe, smaller tribe, Marae, father, mother, brother, what my name is and where I live. I also have the English version of what I'm saying and the Maori version of what I'm saying.
