Mihimihi


Classroom mihimihi


Marae mihimihi

E te mauri mai tāwhiti
To the souls which ascend from afar

E te whare, te papa, te kainga noho tēnā koutou
The community house/classroom/ancestral house, people of the community, greetings

Ki ngā anahera, kua rere hei taki, hei tuara mo te hunga ora, haere
To our dearly departed, who continue to provide us with direction, we acknowledge you

Ki a tātou, he mihi nui
To the living, greetings

Ko Maungarei te maunga
To the great mountain Maungarei, the ancestral mountain

Ko Te Wai o Taiki te awa
To the flowing river Te Wai o Taiki, the ancestral waters

Ko Ukutoia te papa
To the land in which I stand Ukutoia, the area in which we dwell

Tēnā koutou
Greetings to you all
