Comment la tradition et l'expertise maorie peuvent-elle inspirer la protection des océans ? Découvrez le témoignage de Mere Takoko, militante engagée pour l’avenir du Pacifique. Rencontrée lors du One Ocean Science Congress à Nice, un événement dont « Le Point » est partenaire et qui précède la Conférence des Nations Unies sur l’Océan (UNOC-3), elle partage le lien sacré qui unit son peuple à l’océan Pacifique, berceau de la vie selon leur cosmologie. Les Maoris ont développé un savoir unique, basé sur l’observation des étoiles et des cycles naturels, pour lire les courants et anticiper les changements climatiques. Aujourd’hui, Mere Takoko appelle à unir la science moderne et les connaissances autochtones pour mieux comprendre et protéger nos océans face au réchauffement climatique. Un message d’espoir pour l’avenir de la planète.

00:00Ko au te moana, ko te moana ko au.
00:02I am the ocean and the ocean is me
00:04and it is very much how we feel.
00:07Beyond that, the Pacific Ocean we call te moana nui akiwa
00:11is the cradle of life.
00:13So in our tradition, our cosmology,
00:16the origins of Earth are very much tied
00:18to the origins of the Pacific Ocean.
00:21For Māori, being a people from Hawaiki,
00:24which was the ancient watery continent of Oceania,
00:28our ancestors were among the best
00:32and in fact many would say the best in the world
00:35when it came to ocean voyaging and exploration.
00:40We did not rely on any kind of scientific instruments
00:44and in fact our ancestors mapped the heavens
00:48and used those maps based on their memory
00:52to be able to navigate different spaces within the ocean.
00:55We have a system where we utilise both
00:59the calendrical moon system
01:02and then the calendrical solar system
01:04which we call Maramataka Rātaka.
01:06We had all of these different forms
01:09of traditional indigenous knowledge
01:11that helped us to read and talk to the oceans,
01:15that helped us assess what the weather patterns
01:18were going to be.
01:19We would talk to the stars
01:21and be able to assess also
01:23what winter would be like,
01:25is going to be like.
01:26So there are so many different cues
01:28from nature that we take around the stars
01:31that allow us also to be able to read the currents,
01:35what is happening in our oceans.
01:37So I think that's a knowledge system
01:39which is more needed now than ever
01:42as we confront climate change.
01:44That's why I am here to participate
01:47in the One Ocean Science Congress.
01:49I want to be able to be part
01:51of bringing the beautiful scientific knowledge system
01:54together with this outstanding
01:56indigenous knowledge system together
01:58because both is so much stronger
02:00and can reveal so much more information
02:02and insights about our oceans.
