Embracing Indigeneity is about living as our tūpuna did, and honouring our atua Papatūānuku and Hineahuone. 👊🏾 But as Distinguished Professor Linda Tuhiwai Smith (Ngāti Awa, Ngāti Porou, and Tūhourangi) explains in the third episode of our Seeding Hope podcast, in order to do this we need to acknowledge that in Aotearoa we are constantly coming up against the Crown. Linda is a wayfinding leader in Indigenous education, decolonising methodologies and who leads a Kai (food) focused research institute at Te Whare Wānanga o Awanuiārangi. For the last 30 years, she has inspired the Trust’s co-founder and podcast host Dr Jessica Hutchings (Tūhoe, Ngāi Tahu, Ngāti Huirapa, Gujarati). Through sharing kōrero on decolonisation, Indigeneity and food sovereignty, Linda helps give wāhine language to understand and articulate the history of colonisation and how we can live today fully as whānau Māori. Seeding Hope is an Aotearoa-produced podcast, made in collaboration with @maearthstudio. Across 10 episodes, it weaves together Indigenous knowledge with practical insights from a diverse group of Māori women leaders, including kai growers, environmental activists, deep thinkers, poets and healers. The purpose of the podcast is to inspire all people around the world to stand up for seed and soil by signing the Mana Wāhine Indigenous Women’s Declaration.

We are living through the collapse of the capitalist patriarchy. 👑💰 But where does this system come from? How were the women of Western Europe, who once took care of and lived off the land, treated when the notion of commons was taken away and the idea of capital began? How did this colonial erasure then seep into the fabric of Aotearoa? In episode two of Seeding Hope, lawyer, activist and writer Matariki Carr (Ngāi Tūhoe, Ngāti Awa, Pākehā) unpacks the past to help us chart the direction of our future, revealing why Indigenous knowledge was the first law of Aotearoa and how we make a return to that.

Eco-Consciousness Project | GHS Vellinezhi, Palakkad 🧘‍♂️🌱 On 8 October 2026, the students of GHS Vellinezhi took their first steps as caretakers of a Fruit Forest on their own school grounds. Students and coordinators started the day wearing ID cards made from areca leaf. We then began with meditation, a quiet moment to build awareness and love for the earth around us. Then came: • The Conscious Living Quiz, led by Adish Raj and Ganga Santhosh, which got young minds looking closer and asking curious questions • A shadow and hand puppet show by ACT (Action for the Climate Tomorrow), performed by Sreechandana, Aromal and Anujith, bringing climate stories to life through traditional art • Planting the Fruit Forest under the guidance of Manoj Sir, founder of Rewild Farm School, creating a “Living Classroom” the student squad will now care for, season after season The school named its new forest "വിദ്യാവനം" (Vidyavanam), the forest of learning. After sharing fresh fruit together, we closed the day by presenting our 25-member student squad and volunteers with certificates, cotton bags, vegetable seed bags and fruit tree saplings to plant at home, so the forest keeps growing beyond the school. A heartfelt thank you to Dany Sir, our project in-charge at the school, and to every teacher and student who made this day their own. Thanks also to Narendran and Shahid, who coordinated the event alongside the team, and to all our supporters and partners: Ma-Earth, Open Collective Europe, Saytrees, Regenerosity, Infoblox, Rotary Cochin Central, Alarmo, Papla, ACT and Rewild. This project is possible because of you. 💚 This is part of our goal to reach one school in each of Kerala’s 14 districts by 2028, with 500+ student volunteers and 1,500+ fruit trees planted. One more school. One more forest. Many more young guardians. #EcoConsciousnessProject #GreenKeralaVolunteers #Palakkad #ClimateEducation #thebetterindia
