Calling all women of Native Pacific Islander Descent (Melanesian, Micronesian,
Polynesian). Calling Our Native Americas Sisters throughtout Turtle Island
and Carib, Meso, South America.
Join our concern of voices acclaiming the necessity to harmonize and
balance with Mother Earth, Aloha 'Aina. Native movements for sovereignity
and decolonisation are current issues throughout the Pacific from Hawai'i to
Guam, Belau (New Caledonia), Kanaky, Tahiti, Fiji, and Aetearoa (New
Zeland).
There are more native Hawaiians, Samoans, and Chamorros in the U.S. than
in Hawai'i, Samoa and Guam. This diaspora, mevement away from the islands
does not mean we no longer identify as Pacific Islanders.
We are women voyagers who have traveled across the ocean to another island;
Turtle Island, bringing our culture and tradition with us like our ancestors
who sailed the oceans centuries ago. We are united by the ocen rather than
separated.
We come as children of MOther Earth and Sky Father. In our traditions,
voyagers must always announce their arrival. We are calling to you to
announce our presence.
We come in friendship and await your response.
