Response to Text: Pepeha

 Response to text:

Pepeha

 By Pa¯taka and Monique Moore

Highlight the correct answer or write down the appropriate response.


1. A pepeha is… 


a) A way of saying hi! b) A way of introducing yourself

c) Where you come from d) the Te Reo word for pepper


2. For Maori, the waka in their pepeha tell us what?


a) What car they drive b) That they own a waka

c) How their tupuna arrived in Aotearoa d) None of the above


3. Explain why…  “A pepeha is a way of showing that you value the local environment”

When giving a Pepeha, we are explaining all the places that are sacred or have special meanings to us. The Mounga, the Awa, the Moana and so on.


4. True or False: Your hapu is your family (aunties, cousins, grandparents etc.)


a) True b) False


5. Which of the following is NOT something mentioned in a pepeha?


a) Iwi b) Kaumatua

c) Marae d) Tikanga


6. “In Māori culture, everyone helps out and shares work, food, and day-to-day tasks.”

Explain how this is similar, or different in your own culture. If you are Maori, explain what this looks like.


I am Tongan and Samoan and our cultures are pretty similar. We are taught from a young age to share the workload around the house, at church or just anywhere we go. Older girls usually help with making cups of tea for elders and the men usually prepare the umu. 


7. What do you think the contents of a pepeha tell us about Tangata Maori (Maori people) and their relationship with the environment?


I believe that it tells us where Maori people are from specifically and by using names of Iwi’s, Awa’s and Moungas etc this shows and establishes the personal relationship the person has with the environment. It lets us know that they care for the land and the communities that they come from.
