The #Maori taught me that the Western #society model is deeply flawed, designed to keep people fighting each other rather than working together as families #Whānau and communities #iwi to care for one another and the environment #TeTaiao we live in.

The Māori cultural approach has much to teach us in how we can survive the #ClimateEmergency and improve our health and society

#NZTwits Highly recommend watching this documentary when you have 45 mins to spare.

Tells the story of Bay of Plenty's natural environment but it has broader use/meaning/lessons than that.

It's a roller-coaster - awe-inspiring beauty, tears-inducing destruction.
