    • We are EXPLAINING our pepeha/whakapapa to our peers.
    • We are FOCUSING on the strong spiritual bonds Māori have with the land - Papatūānuku (the Earth mother).
    • We are FOCUSING on the Māori world view of taonga/treasures (such as land, soil and water).
    • We are FOCUSING on the Māori concept of kaitiakitanga (guardianship and conservation) of these taonga.
