Beyond Property: The Intersection of Personhood and Nature

In this episode, we delve into New Zealand's landmark decision to grant legal personhood to Taranaki Maunga (Mount Taranaki), recognizing its profound cultural and ancestral significance to the Māori people. This move not only addresses historical grievances, including land confiscation, but also establishes a governance framework comprising Māori iwi members and government representatives to oversee the mountain's well-being. We explore the implications of this decision, its alignment with New Zealand's broader efforts to honor indigenous perspectives, and its potential to influence global conversations on environmental stewardship and indigenous rights.
