Mihi by Hyrule Princess

October 2nd, 2014 2:07 PM

INSTRUCTIONS: In Maori culture, when you formally introduce yourself in a meeting house it is called a "Mihi". You tell people your canoe, tribe, sub-tribe and family, but you ALSO identify specific geological features to which you "belong". For example, "your" lake, mountain, river, forest etc.

Chose at least three geographical features that you consider "yours". Document them.

"My" geographical features represent the two worlds that I am a part of: northern New Jersey and the Tampa Bay area. The first picture is one I took of the nature trails at Garret Mountain in Passaic County, NJ. Walking through the woods is one of my favorite hobbies. The second one (taken from artsincontemporarysociety Wiki - I couldn't fly back to get a good picture of them for the task!) is of Lambert Castle and the old tower. From the top of the mountain and tower, one can see Paterson and New York City. This represents my roots. The next two pictures were taken at Lettuce Lake Park, located just outside of Tampa, Florida, and down the street from my current apartment. You can see how different the flora and fauna are down here! I walk on a boardwalk through the swamp. The last picture is of the bay, taken on I-275 on my way to the beach. You can just see part of my reflection in the car window, and I like to think of that as a symbol of how my new home is becoming a part of me.
