Hello again.

Thanks for the link, and the Member's user name. 

It was indeed the post that I had some recall of, and prompted me to reply. I could not find it in a NZ board search, as I did not think to attach NZ to the search criteria. Raj // Rajah

https://teara.govt.nz/en/tribal-organisation/page-2

This link will give some idea of how Maaori see their linage, and allow you to seek assistance from their tribal affiliations etc.

While RajahNZ regularly used the common forms of Maaori greetings, in her posts, I see only research into ancestors in the UK. So am not in a position to assist any further re introductions to descendants etc.

All the best with your project.

Regards,

Alan.

Thank you so much Alan

I studied linguistics at  university

So am interested in all languages
My grandfather was a sailor and told us that if we learnt greetings and thankyou in as many languages as possible it would please hosts and could bring happiness to a homesick traveller

I have been clearing out files and came across two letters from Raj, which she sent me in 2011 and 2012, with her Christmas card,  sad to see she is no longer with us.
 I always remember her greeting us in the chatroom with  Kai Ora.

Who remembers the television advertising campaign from the 1980s for Kia Ora orange squash?
