Maori

 Today me, Group A, and Whaea Odie were working on a maori learning activity.

First we needed to go on a LS1 site, then go on the maori times table to for us to get on the updated document to make a copy of it.

Next we needed to investigate what are the maori words mean, which they mean names, the names are "Dorothy, Caroline, Jacob, Elizabeth, Nicholas," and in Maori they are "Tarati, Kararaina, Hakopa, Irihapeti, and Nikora.

Then we needed to put them in place for what the maori names actually are, which we put them into a 15x15 columns.

After that we needed to make our own names with the names and the maori names, which my ones were "Abraham Nicholas, Jane Jim, which in Maori are

Finally we needed to change our names from english to maori which Whae Odie says that "S,Z,J -= H, V = W, L = R"so then my name says "Hemi".

    

Mihi Whakatau

 Mihi Whakatau is a Maori term for a formal greeting. 

Mihi Whakatau is traditionally used for a welcoming, introductions, and openings. It is undertaken by the Tangata Whenua (local inhabitants)

The Mihi needs to acknowledge the significant aspects of the place. The Maunga (mountain), Awa (river), and Iwi (tribe) are generally used. 

Introducing Ingoa (name), Oku Tipuna (ancestral place), and where you live is important for the audience to understand the positions of the Speaker. 

Manuhiri is the term used to describe or group the visitors that are being welcomed.

Being respectful of the land, the people, and the purpose of a visit will ensure long-lasting relationships and connections.
