Kia Whakanuia te Whenua: People Place Landscape edited by Carolyn Hill for The Landscape Foundation
Concern for the protection and management of the whenua/land was the inspiration for The Landscape Foundation’s publication Kia Whakanuia te Whenua. Global and local impacts such as climate change, biodiversity loss, water pollution and structural issues such as government policy and neoliberal economics are affecting global and local habitats as well as how we perceive, relate to and care for them. This is at the heart of issues for landscape practitioners, Māori, ecologists, and many others.
Māori-led, the book explores the spirit of whenua and how it is embedded in place through identity and naming. It confronts the pain of alienation and whenua loss for all indigenous peoples and looks at how that can be transformed.
Forty different authors contributed articles, including perspectives from Aboriginal, American Indian and Irish landscape architects as well as Māori and Pakeha.
Paperback, 344 pages, published April 2021.
