Interactive features within the app include pronunciation of Māori words, maps with Māori names and iwi groups, values and principles, mihimihi/pepeha (introductions), ngā mihi (greetings), poroporoaki (farewells), whakataukī (proverbs), and waiata (songs).
One of the app’s key features is that it allows Spark staff to input their own personal information to create a customised pepeha.
Spark staff will find this resource particularly helpful when leading, or being part of discussions that involve the local Māori community.
