The changing of the health of Wairarapa Moana due to environmental factors has affected its relationship with surrounding communities. This project aimed to understand how the health of the Moana impacts the connection between its surrounding communities and the environment. This project consisted of interviewing 19 individuals who have a deep connection with the Moana. We identified common themes from these interviews and created a video that recognized and amplified voices and stories from the Moana’s community.
