He taonga tuku iho, ko te manu tukutuku, kua ngaro atu kē ki ngā hau e whā, kua whakamīharo ā tātou nei ngākau kia puta ake ki te whaiao, ki te ao mārama.
"A treasured kite lost to the winds brings much joy when found again."
Responding to a changing climate includes asking, what tools do we have that can be repurposed? And it means taking care not to forget the importance of joy. As climate change continues to make itself felt, mana whenua communities are increasingly finding themselves reading the signs in their shifting physical and spiritual worlds and adapting on the fly.
