Te Reo o te taiao - the language of the environment

Hosted by Arohanui West.

In the Te Reo o te Taiao session we will discuss tohu (signs) that we can see and observe from the natural world. We will link these observations back to mātauranga māori and discuss how climate change compromises these indigenous knowledge systems.
