Kia Ora!!

Ko Aria tōku ingoa,
He uri nō Kahungunu, ā, he raukura nō Te Aho Matua
Toitū te whenua, whatu ngarongaro te tangata.

Kia ora, Ko Elijah Murrell-Manu tōku ingoa. I am 21 years old and recently finished my undergraduate study at Massey University. I am always down for a chat and laugh, especially while making new friends and connections. I can’t wait to meet you all and see what kind of space we can create for rangatahi Māori in the future. Peace out x

Kia ora tātau.

Ko Hineari Te Whaiti tōku ingoa.
He uri tēnei nō Ngāti Kahungunu Ngāti Whātua anō hoki.
Hīkaka ana te ngākau ki te tūtaki i a koutou.

Kia ora, ko Hinemaia tōku ingoa. He uri tēnei nō Ngāti Kahungunu ki te Wairarapa, ko Ngāi Tūmapūhia-a-Rangi te hapū. Short and sweet just like me.
