Great work here! You've done a great job with you pepeha and well done including a video of yourself saying your pepeha. That was awesome! It's important to acknowledge our whakapapa in our pepeha and I think it also helps us understand who we are.
To help you with some of those gaps you have, here's what I use for my iwi and hapu. For my iwi (tribe), I use Airiri (Irish in Maori) because this is where my family comes from and the people I identify myself with. For my hapu (sub-tribe), I use Simpson (my last name) because this is my immediate family and I'm close to them.
See if you can use these ideas to add to your pepeha! Cheers, Ruby.
