Maori:
Te anga karaka, te anga koura, kei kitea te Marae
Translate:
The shells of the karaka berry, and the shells of the crayfish, should not be seen from the Marae
Although
this clearly has a hygienic undertone, it also refers to discipline. A
tribe or war party who disregards organization and has no concern for
where they leave their rubbish and gear reflects poor leadership and
discipline, thus becoming easy prey for a more regimented force.
To me this means to keep the world clean and healthy.
