New Zealand MAORI Youth

20 years ago, Australia and New Zealand had the second highest rate of "depressed and suicidal youth" in the world. The Holy Mother was so concerned about them, as any mother would be.

20 years later a documentary about the New Zealand Maori state that this youth are now the highest in the table of stats.

It's a heartfelt documentary as a spiritual elder helps the youth to reclaim their heritage and culture. They live in such a beautiful location, some don't realise how fortunate they are to live in their homeland of their Maori ancestors.

Indigenous people trying to fit into the 21st century life, the documentary says that this youth are barely holding on. The elder tells the reporter that dads help the youth to build resilience, I think that is true and important. It is hard to be a mum and a dad to a young person. 

Some of these young people are so happy once they have reconnected with their roots to maintain and sustain their historic culture. In their historic culture they can find their reason for being, born in New Zealand, to defend the ancient lands. To protect the nature of the land, its flora and wildlife.

I think it is wonderful when men step up to help the youth. Total respect for the help that they are giving to the youth.
