“Ko Tainui te Waka, Ko Ngati Maniapoto te iwi, ko Rora te hapu, ko Oparure te marae, Ko Ramu toku ingoa.” This is my pepeha. Pepeha is the way to introduce yourself in Maori, to have a sense of belonging, and to be able to make connections with others. I think you wonder why I said my waka, iwi, hapu, Marae,and then my name. In Maori culture, where you come from is more important than your name. I’ve been learning Maori language as well as English since I came here. I took Te Reo Maori class at school and I learned how to write and speak in Maori. Did you know it’s similar to the Japanese language? Every word in it is based on the vowels just like Japanese language. The vowels of Maori are A E I O U. It’s exactly the same \u00a0sound as the Japanese vowels A I U E O. As I said before, I started learning the Maori language at the beginning of this year. I’ve come to be able to understand the basics. It’s never too late to start learning it.<\/div>\n

How well do you know about Marae? People used to think that a Marae is a building but it is not. \u00a0Marae is wharekai, wharenui and grounds that belongs to iwi, hapu or whanau. Wharekai means the place to eat and wharenui means the place to sleep. I’ve been there for parties, funerals, celebrations and kapahaka trainings. When there was a \u00a0birthday party, about 100 people dressed up like cartoon and movie characters. In the night, we all danced to a DJ’s music. We all went to sleep in our costumes straight after the party. I think Marae is the best place to have a good time with the tribe.\u00a0<\/div>\n

You may know that the relationship between Maori people and Pakeha people is not good. It is a fact that there is still racial discrimination against Maori people. \u00a0“Don’t judge a book by its cover. You might miss out on an amazing story.” \u00a0They may look scary but actually they are not. TV programs, except Maori TV, pick up on only the bad points of them. \u00a0Even the New Zealand government is not nice to them. Please look at their inside. They are proud of being Maori and love their tribe and family. Do you decide your book by its “color”? Don’t you even check what the story is about if it’s “brown”?\u00a0<\/div>\n

I didn’t write about my school life and host family in this essay. That’s just because it would be a very long essay if I also write about those 2 things, haha. At school, I got friends and they said to me “you are one of my best friends”. And I’m pretty sure my host family is the best of the best. \u00a0I will never forget when my host father and mother said to me, “We are unrelated by blood but it doesn’t matter. You are our daughter”. I’m going to go back to Japan in few days. I still can’t believe it. Even though it has been a hard time for me, it was an absolutely wonderful year.
