The eruption was a reminder of the power of nature and humans’ connection with it, says Pouroto Ngaropo. 

Pouroto Ngaropo, standing on an ancient settlement site overlooking the island of Whakaari, recites his ancestry back thousands of years, back to the volcano which erupted there on Monday.

Two of their boats were out on Monday; one made it back with the help of rescuers but the other did not. Overall, eight people — both tourists and locals — are still missing, presumed dead with six more confirmed fatalities and more than 30 injured. “We can’t because Whakaari is in a state of mourning, her descendants have passed on and they’re lying dead, still there on the island. Theprotects all of those things, it protects their spiritual right to have a proper burial ceremony,” he said.The spiritual and cultural restrictions will last until all remains had been returned to families, Ngaropo said. When that happens, he will go out again, early in the morning, to lift the prohibition.
