Kua āhua mai ēnei mahi toi i te takoto me ngā tauira o te mata tūroa o Papatūānuku. Kua āta titiro ngā ringatoi, me ngā kaihanga, ki te taiao, ā, kua kitea te rerehua me ngā tini painga o te ao tūroa.

E whakatauira ana tēnei whakaaturanga i te āhua o te mahi ngātahi a te ringatoi, a te kaihanga hoki ki te taiao – kua tīkina atu ngā āhua me ngā rawa o te ao tūroa hei taura here ki ngā momo mātauranga, me ngā kōrero o te taiao e karapoti nei i a tātou.
