Knowledge of the Past
We meet with elders from the island of Moorea, in French Polynesia. We learn about the Te Pu ‘Atiti’a Center and how it is helping to perpetuate local knowledge and traditions. The elders tell us about changes to the ocean in their lifetime, and how those changes have affected life in the water and on the land.
