About

He Mihi

­Tēnā koutou katoa

No Te Wai Pounamu ahau,
Ko Te Tihi o Kahuhura te maunga,
Ko Ōtākaro te awa,
No Ōtautahi i whānau

Ko Danyl Strype tōku ingoa.

An Introduction

­My name is Danyl Strype. I come from the islands of Aotearoa in the waters of Te-Moana-Nui-A-Kiwa, renamed 'New Zealand' and 'Pacific Ocean' by the European colonists who built the city of Christchurch where I was born and raised. I recognise the Tāngata Whenua (first people of this land) of this place, whānau (families) and hapū (communities) of the iwi (tribe) Kai Tahu, who know my city of birth as Ōtautahi.
