Embark on a journey of discovery through an ancient worldview that has endured the challenges of colonialism and recently gained recognition in a unique governance structure.

Te Urewera in New Zealand holds a unique status and is managed in a way that reflects the Maori philosophy and cultural values of Tūhoe.

Tuhoe see themselves more as mana whenua, responsible for the well-being of the land and the environment, rather than owners exercising control.
