[S2:EP#1] What does being diasporic Pasifika mean to me? Six Indigenous Pacific Islanders dive deep into their experiences of loving home from a distance, and whether or not they consider themselves diasporic [not all do!]. Kalani then discusses a scientific paper on using a gendered lens to describe women’s fishing activities and marine governance in a marine preserve in the Solomon Islands, Melanesia. In this episode you will hear from: Austin, a diasporic Yapese-Palauan living in the Kingdom of Hawai’i Brooke, a Tongan-Niuean-Samoan Pasifika woman living in Aotearoa Kawena, our favorite angry Hawaiian Kanaka Maoli revolutionary in the making Te Tangaroa, a displaced Maori in Australia who wishes to return home Danideru, a diasporic Scottish-Chamorro recording, digital, and film artist Carolann, a diasporic story-teller, cultural practitioner, and spoken word poet from Pohnpei Citations: Rohe, J., Schlüter, A. & Ferse, S.C.A.
