Hello #PACIFICA Twitter, Any recommendations for PI authors writing about the "blue economy" or "blue colonialism" or "rush for the ocean"? Mauruuru roa in advance

Gentle reminder: if you're unsure of whether someone is Micronesian, Melanesian, or Polynesian, please feel free to use "Nesian" OR just say "Pacific Islander"! Some of us take pride in these colonially created labels, and many of our people are mixed islanders too!

#Opinion: We don’t need more multimillion-dollar homes and resorts at the expense of the natural and cultural resources that make Hawaii special. Catherine Toth Fox #HInews civilbeat.org/2023/07/cather…

Thank you KUAM News for featuring our story. Folks back home have electricity and water again, but there are still many others displaced from Typhoon Mawar. For many, the impact of the typhoon will reverberate for many years to come. youtube.com/watch?v=duqMC6…

So, I did a #TEDtalk . Its's titled "Climate Action Should Focus on Communities, Not Just Carbon" and the gist is: carbon markets & other tech fixes are distracting us achieving tangible climate justice. ted.com/talks/jade_beg…

Thrilled to team up with Douglas Walker, PhD to write this invited perspective for Environmental Health Perspectives ! We described recent applications of #NonTargetedAnalysis in Characterizing the #MaternalAndChildHealth and discussed ways to realize the incredible promise of the #Exposome . HERCULES

OPINION: "As Hawaiians, this crisis is deeply personal for us. We, as a group, are disproportionately impacted by this and the houselessness crises. We are 40% of the houseless population." ⤵️ 808ne.ws/44MEoMQ

To reporters covering the #MauiFire: Please stop characterizing Front Street and Lahaina Town as a “tourist spot” It was the original Capital of the Hawaiian Kingdom. King Kamehameha’s palace is here. Kānaka Maoli still live here, on their ancestral land from the 1800s.

Tourism is a branch of colonialism where resources that could be used to support Kānaka and locals who lost their homes and loved ones are instead being diverted to 4000 haoles who have a place to go back to. Our people don’t have this option if it wasn’t for mutual aid efforts.

“Fire is a “scorching warning” of what’s to come if indigenous communities aren’t protected from the impacts of climate change… Our home is on fire right now. There needs to be more action and more investment” - Kaniela Ing NBC News nbcnews.com/news/asian-ame…

Lāhainā was once wetland. Boats circled around Waikoloa Church. It’s only became dry and fire-prone because of illegal water diversions and land theft by sugar barons in the 1800’s. Today, the same families reap insane profits off continued control of our irrigation, land

Don’t.

What is happening in Hawaii & elsewhere is climate coloniality, where colonial & imperial oppression, capitalist exploitation & racialized control create conditions of worsening climate injustices. Couple of readings to explain.🧵 1 #ClimateColoniality➡️ farhanasultana.com/climate-coloni…

There are Kānaka Maoli bodies in that wreckage. How dare you post this

As touristy as #Lahaina had become, it was still a place where real people lived including generations of families who had deep roots in that red soil. #HInews #MauiFires civilbeat.org/2023/08/lee-ca…

Congrats to Nikki Kalani Apana (UCSF School of Medicine) & Nicole DeVille for shedding light on #MentalHealth among SGM youth from a #PacificIslander perspective To combat data colonization, we must include #PacificIslanderVoices in research about our communities 🔗jamanetwork.com/journals/jamap…

MASSIVE news in health disparities research. OMB updated federal standards to 1️⃣ race/ethnicity category adding 1) MENA & 2) Hispanic or Latino. Big changes ahead in analyzing health data. NHPI have struggled for decades to be recognized, looking forward to seeing the rollout.
