Pepeha - Place-based connection

Pepeha is about identity. It is important to understand the framework and the way that you share your pepeha differently when sharing it with different groups, because it is all about making connections with the people you are meeting... so be careful with the options that ask you to just fill in the blanks. Ask yourself what the blanks mean.

A focus on pepeha to support in learning about waka and migration at NZ History

Start by listening to Tame Iti speak of identity and the connections between identity and mana in this TedTalk.

Kiwa Digital have made a Pepeha App to support the aim of the social media campaign called #1miriona, aiming for a million supporters of te reo Māori.

This song follows the tune of Calendar Girl, a fabulous way to support learning pepeha in class. Much better sung in small groups though. Waiata Whakawhanaungatanga, the getting to know each other song.

Complete your pepeha online using this interactive site put together by Designworks (keeping in mind that pepeha is about meaningful connections, and acknowledging your connections to the people you are sharing your pepeha with, so your pepeha should change in response to others).
