Da Holden in da pub car park; hu-hu-eh?
Dont know what to put here
Might be worth getting hold of my bro clivoris. He is a speaker & worth a PM.
If he is unable to help flick me a PM. I play squash every week with the Kaumatua at Te Papa & I am sure he would be able to get it sorted for ya.
May the road rise up to meet you.
May the wind be always at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face.

Yeah I was looking at that today, but I'm pakeha, I don't have a waka and iwi etc, so I have to make some shit up, like where I'm from etc.

Yep me too. I know the ship my ancestors came out on so I used that as my waka. For my Iwi used my wider family name - which coincidentally is the same as my surname anyway. And for my mountain I used the mountain that was important & significant to me, same with my river - I actually used "Te moana" (ocean) as opposed to my river because it was more significant to me.
I checked all this out with a Kaumatua at the organisation I had my 3rd year placement at.

what is the paper you are working on?

Po ta toes
For an essay I have to write and a mihi or speech I have to give for the uni paper I'm doing for my degree. It will help because I have to do it or fail and pay another $450 to do it next year. The paper is Maori Development and the Social Services.
Just faidin away!
You must do what you must do Trudes but will you still respect yourself in the morning?

I did an extremely brief course a lot of years ago, and was told then that as I grew up (I know, debatable that I have, but go with it for now) in Gisborne my River is Turanganui. That is about all I remember from it actually.

awwww thanks JohnYou must do what you must do Trudes but will you still respect yourself in the morning?
I promise, I will still love you!I think I'll be able to live with myself, if I can't nobody else will!
hehe thanks, I grew up in Gizzy too, but my river is Waipaoa 'cause I lived in Manutuke and used to swim in that sucker with all the dead sheep and cattle carcasses au!

As others have said, you can get a bit creative with the things like the waka. I've heard more than one person "Ko 747-400 te waka" or something similar.
Generally most of us dodgy white fellas who dont speak it too well use our main ancestral homeland for the iwi (English, Scottish, Welsh, etc) and a suitable family name or scottish clan etc.
Yours might look something like this:
Tena koutou, tena koutou, tena koutou katoa
Ko Trudi taku ingoa (my name is trudy)
Ko English te iwi (my tribe is English)
Ko Kendog te hapu (my clan is Kendog)
Ko Waipaoa te awa (My river is Waipaoa)
Ko Pacific te moana (my ocean is the pacific)
Ko Endeavour te waka (my waka is the Endeavour)
That would probably do.

That's classic, thanks Lias. My friend Elle suggested Ngati Pakeha te iwi...
