Mātauranga
knowledge, wisdom, understanding, skill
It’s our passion to promote and expand Māori connection to te taiao through the retention and sharing of mātauranga toi.
We’ve gathered some observations and anecdotes by practitioners, researchers, admirers, students, and experts in working with whenua. Our community of artists, writers, and museum professionals have generously contributed to making He Kapunga Oneone a dynamic platform. Each offering gives an insight into the diverse ways we can engage with the whenua as Māori.
Every encounter with the land matters, it strengthens our connection to our whakapapa - we hope you find a perspective here that interests and inspires your relationship with the natural world. If you have a kōrero to share - please get in touch!
