Melville Intermediate - Maori Mihi Examples from Room 8



  • This is the Maori Mihi from Room Eight students. A Mihi is a Maori introduction or greeting, which contains information about yourself. In this video you are looking for the following key phrases:
    ko te Maunga (the name of the mountain closet to where you were born)

    ko te Awa (the name of the river closest to where you were born)
    ko te Iwi (the name of your tribe/Iwi)
    ko te Marae (the name of your local marae/meeting place)
    ko te Kura (the name of your school)
    ko te Tumuaki (the name of your principal)
    ko te Kaiako (the name of your teacher)
    ko te Taku Ingoa (your name)



Students from Room Eight and Melville Intermediate School are available to help with your Mihi learning. If you would like to contact us, we are able to Skype with your classroom or learning institute to tutor you in the presentation and pronunciation of Maori Language and in particular Maori Mihi. You can leave a comment here on this post or email our teacher at myles.webb@gmail.com. This includes in 2011
