The Native Planet documentary series tells stories of the unique spiritual connection First Peoples have with mother earth and their passion to defend it - and this past month they started screening the first season of this series in Canada.
Episode One was filmed in 2013 and documents host Simon Baker and the Native Planet team as they travel to New Zealand and with the assistance of Ngā Pae o te Māramatanga, record how science and indigenous knowledge are combining to offer hope to a small North island hāpu and their sacred lake.
With the kind permission of the Native Planet team, you can now view the full 45 minute documentary on our Media Centre website.
