Let's Start Building Your Mihi
If you're looking for some support to help build your own personal mihi, then this video could be perfect for you.
If you're at the starting line, wanting some inspiration to get started... perhaps see if the questions below encourage you to reflect on who you are, where you're from and dig a bit deeper into your ancestry.
