What does Mana mean in Polynesia?
Mana is the spiritual life force and energy that connects everything in Polynesian culture. It is believed to exist in people, nature, sacred places, and even objects. While some mana is inherited, it is strengthened through respect, integrity, skill, and care for others and the environment. Visitors and travellers can honor mana by treating the land, culture, and people with humility and respect.
