Ko (name your waka, i.e Aotea) toku waka means "Aotea is my waka". It is a part of a pepeha....In Maori tikanga, when you go through your whakawhanaungatanga (meet n greet), in a nut shell you tell people not only your name, but your parents names, your tribe (iwi), sub tribe (hapu), the canoe that your ancestors arrived on (waka), etc.
