Prioritising story sovereignty in the Pacific

The desire for indigenous peoples across the Pacific to tell their own narrative is rising, and it is no different for the CHamoru people of Guåhan.

Cabrini Cruz, an indigenous CHamoru from Inalåhan, leads the Canoes of Micronesia project, born from the United States Embassy Young Pacific Leaders (YPL) Small Grants initiative.

As a Micronesian and competitive paddler, Canoes of Micronesia, which focuses on preserving and revitalising the region’s remarkable seafaring traditions, holds deep personal significance to Cabrini.

Exciting to see the inaugural Kava Festival happened in Vanuatu this weekend gone!

with Vanuatu Made - The inaugural Kava Festival is set to take place this week on the 28th and 29th of November in Luganville, Santo.

This historic event is the first of its kind in Vanuatu. The festival has already brought together stakeholders, communities, kava experts, farmers, schools from across Santo, and visitors from all over Vanuatu. Santo Island, renowned as one of Vanuatu's largest kava suppliers, holds kava in high regard, often referring to it as "Green Gold."

The celebration of this first Kava Festival has significantly uplifted the spirits of local farmers and filled them with pride.

This week’s celebration, held at Unity Park, promises to be the biggest event in Santo this year. With a variety of programs and activities planned, it's a unique opportunity for everyone to learn from kava experts and engage with professionals who can provide technical guidance on building a kava business, adding value, and marketing kava products.
