Animal fharming harms our wai/whenua/taiao. We shouldn't be animal fharming in Aotearoa.
I’ve been asking people “is the water here safe to drink” when I travel my whole life. Only here in NZ have people been SUPER INDIGNANT at the question.

Y’all are fools to think that having a poorly regulated agricultural industry can coexist with drinkable water.

I will choose not to collaborate with that person in future except face to face, and have pulled back from a few kaupapa that that person is leading, knowing that they rely on the LLM instead of thinking through their planning.

Not saying they're wrong to do so. Saying I choose not to. #Taiao

It’s been a shit few days here at #COP30 so when I got the pānui that my iwi are taking the Crown to Court to protect our taiao and future generations it was pretty special.

A real demonstration of everything we’re preaching here - Indigenous Peoples are holding the line where states are failing!

"ki ngā tangata katoa o Nu Tirani te tino rangatiratanga o ō rātou whenua ō rātou kainga me o ratou taonga katoa"

He Taonga te Taiao; he Taonga te Whakapapa
Me trying to figure out where in Te Tiriti it says that the children of Maori who have chosen to make a life overseas are entitled to NZ citizenship.

I was in wānanga with rongoā practitioners Donna Kerridge & Emma Haslam yesterday on connecting to te taiao through a Māori lens, and it was sooo good and sooo inspiring, and just what I needed. Facilitated also by the excellent crew at Māngere Mountain Education Centre, it was a PRIMO day.

This Govt has got nearly everything wrong, but is this one use of public funds they have got right. Looking forward to seeing what comes of biodiscovery when kaitiaki & taonga/taiao are centred instead of sidelined. Māori mā: step up & run with the opportunities.
