Thats not uncommon. Many of us got cut off from our culture over the years and we are currently living in a time of reconnection and rediscovery. When I needed to write my pepeha I didn't know my mountain either so I thought a bit and chose one that I felt close to. It ended up being the same mountain as mum picked.

When you write your pepeha one of the first few lines is which mountain you belong to. That's how important they are.

That's because when the park was created it was defined as a radius from the peak, so all the farmers cleared up to that radius to make a circle that can be seen from space.

Reply to comment by TarondorIX in LPT: If you're buying a house still under construction, photograph everything before the sheetrock goes up. Knowing exactly where the pipes, wires, and ducts are may prove invaluable some day, and even if you never use them the next owner will appreciate it. by Needleroozer
Assuming stuff like that is even on the plans. We generate plans all the time and leave them in the house when finished. 4 copies one for the home owner one for us one for the council and one for the draftsman. But the draftsman only puts where things should go when the electrician/plumber/gasfitter shows up on site he takes one look at the plans and says that's dumb it should go this way instead or the light switch should be here or theres not enough fall on this drain and changes it. We don't do as builts in residential house building.
