Our Environment, Our Other Body
Friday 29 May | 11am – 11:30am
Associate Professor Hone Morris
SeniorTe Pūtahi-a-toi/School of Māori Knowledge
In the ever present climate of global warming, climate change and the growing awareness of the need to protect and respect our environment, I share a perspective of a connected geneaology. It’s inspired by a connection, a conceptual lens formulated by my ancestors to encourage us to view the environment as a living organism, breathing with moods and emotions similar to the human body. Papatūānuku, Mother Earth requires our attention!
