Society & Culture
Join hosts Moana and Dana in a special episode of the Moana Nui podcast as we commemorate Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander (AANHPI) Month, in collaboration with Papa Ola Lokahi. A distinguished group of leaders from various NHPI communities share insights into their transformative work, unique cultures, and ways we can celebrate this significant month and year-round.
The luminaries include Lulu Wolfgram of the Pacific Island Knowledge to Action Resources (PIK2AR) organization, who brings us into her Tongan culture and her uncompromising fight against violence. Josie Howard of We Are Oceania further illuminates on the challenges of Micronesians in Hawaii, underscoring the sanctuary her organization provides for island newcomers. Sheri Daniels, the CEO of Papa Ola Lokahi, speaks about advocating for the overall health of the Native Hawaiian community.
In a critical dissection of representation and funding within the AANHPI communities, the panelists tackle the problems of exclusion and misrepresentation, highlighting the crucial need for inclusive spaces. They suggest a more just distribution of resources based on individual groups' specific requirements and conclude with a powerful call to action - that everyone's voice should be duly heard, narrated, and respected.
Immerse yourself in the heart of the conversation as we delve into the persistent struggles for governance and equity among Native Hawaiians and Pacific Islanders. Listen to the panelists' call for community solidarity and cue from personal narratives of resilience and resourcefulness. The episode concludes with an exciting announcement of 'Road Tour 24', a nationwide tour proposing an open dialogue with nationwide citizens—honoring ancestors by acting together
Tune into this captivating episode as we celebrate the AANHPI cultures, communities, and their immense contributions.
