"For example, a mihimihi (formal ritualized introduction) at a hui (Maori ceremonial gathering) involves stating your own whakapapa in order to establish relationships with the hosts/others/visitors. . . . [A] mihimihi is a statement of where you are from and of how you can be related and connected to these other people and the land, in both the past and the present."
