Hinano Murphy served as a cultural advisor on the blockbuster Disney hit ‘Moana.’ And as powerful as her guidance proved to be in capturing the spirit of her community, she is much more than that. An Indigenous elder and expert in Tahitian lifeways, Murphy founded the Atitia Cultural Center on Moorea and works as the Cultural Director for the nonprofit Tetiaroa Society. At the 2024 World Wilderness Congress convened in the Black Hills, Hé Sapa in Lakota, she carried the message of the ocean and the Polynesian community speaking on several panels about the need for all nations to ratify the High Seas Treaty and pass a ban on deep sea mining. Here she speaks with Deceleration’s Calendar Editor Ceiba Ili about relying on the ancestors, working to protect life on our unraveling Earth, and the power of youth in the climate struggle.
Recorded at at the #NatureForAll youth area at WILD12. Thanks for creating such a cozy space!
