Abstract
Kia mōhio ia ki te manaaki, ki te tiaki i te whenua, nō te mea i ahu mai te oranga i te whenua – ngā huarakau, ngā huawhenua, ngā rongoā, ngā tuna, ngā ika… Kia mōhio te mokopuna he kaitiaki noa iho ia no te whenua. Ehara i a ia te whenua engari i ahu mai ia i te whenua. (Ministry of Education, 1996, p. 36)

The land is not of the child, but the child is born of the land/placenta [author’s translation]
