The Māori worldview considers everything living and non-living to be interconnected. People, plants and animals are all descendants of Ranginui (the sky father) and Papatuanuku (the earth mother) and their children, which means humans are therefore, intrinsically linked with nature. Each of us have a role as kaitiaki (guardians) to preserve the natural taonga (treasures) in our area through understanding and appreciating the natural world around us.
Traditionally Maori used ngai tipuu for many aspects of life from beautification, food, medicinal as well as household uses such as baskets, ropes, and musical instrument
