For 10 years, photojournalist Tatsiana Chypsanava photographed the Tūhoe people living in Te Urewera, a New Zealand rainforest. Documenting this Indigenous community has brought her an intimate understanding of their lives.

As Chypsanava began to form relationships with the Tūhoe, she learned more about state-sanctioned violence against the Indigenous community, and the early challenges encountered with the land return of Te Urewera in 2014. At the heart of Chypsanava’s work is capturing how the community has begun to heal in the long shadow of colonialism.

Her intimate photographs take us into the homes and lives of the Tūhoe as they reconnect with their land and ancestry.

A story for New Zealand Geographic.

This comes as Meta has begun to relax some of its content moderation policies. Some of these accounts linked to Patreon, Fanvue and WhatsApp groups that shared sexual abuse material depicting real children.
