Nature Identity

Nature connection can form a large part of your identity and inform your worldview.

You may know about pepeha/mihi in Te Reo Māori which share whakapapa/genealogy to nature through various landmarks. In pepeha, when someone introduces themselves, they refer to the mountain, waterbody and land they are connected with. This is one way to introduce worldview and identity.

We have created an activity sheet that allows us to explore the connections that may form part of our identity. This sheet includes places, landmarks, greenspaces, and critters to which we feel connected. These are things that we likely have memories of, care deeply about, and want to protect.
