What is a Maori word that means nature and peace?

There isn't one single Maori word that perfectly encapsulates both "nature" and "peace." However, we can combine two words to create a phrase that conveys the meaning:

"Tātai-whanaunga me te rangimarie"

* Tātai-whanaunga: This word embodies the interconnectedness of all things in nature, the harmony and balance of the natural world. It literally translates to "relationships of kinship."

* Te rangimarie: This word means "peace" or "tranquility."

This phrase translates to "relationships of kinship and peace," capturing the essence of nature's harmony and the tranquility it brings.

Here are some other options with slightly different nuances:

* "Te whenua me te rangimarie": This translates to "the land and peace" and emphasizes the connection between the Earth and peace.

* "Te taiao me te ata noho": This translates to "the environment and calmness" and focuses on the peaceful state of being within nature.

Ultimately, the best word or phrase depends on the specific context and the desired emphasis.
