Tiana is hands down my go-to girl for any life advice. She was raised by her whānau to always hold a strong connection to the land and the natural environment. It wasn't until she was out of those whānau based communities that Tiana truly realised the importance of it. Hear her story and tips to help you strengthen your connection to the natural environment/taha whenua in Te Whare Tapa Whā.
