Every time we eat from our awa, roto, maunga, ngāhere and maara kai, we get a glimpse into the life of our tūpuna. We decolonise our tastebuds from refined sugars and processed kai. We care for these places more deeply because we actively spend time in them. We recognise them as our pātaka kai and acknowledge our dependence on them — if the moana is healthy and abundant with kai, then we are healthy too.
