[EP#7:DECOLONIZATION SERIES #2]What does “land back” mean to me as a Pacific Islander?

Six Indigenous Pacific Islanders dive deep into the land, the #LandBack movement in their islands, and where they see it going. You will hear from:

• Mackere (https://twitter.com/Mackere), an “urban Maori” living in Auckland

• Nāinoa (https://twitter.com/unkopoidog), a Kanaka Maoli living in Hawai’i

• Hila’an (https://twitter.com/taotaomona), a Chamoru ginen Guåhan; (Personal IG: https://instagram.com/taotaomona) (Art: https://instagram.com/_menhalom)

• Tēatuahere (https://twitter.com/teatuahere), your favorite Tahitian poet living in Hawai’i

• Kawena (https://twitter.com/Kue_Kawena), your fave angry Hawaiian & Kanaka Maoli activist

• Thomås (https://twitter.com/thomasmaolek), our FAVORITE Gilita Chamorro Saina

Followed by Kalani giving a breakdown of a scientific paper on coral planular larvae and how parental or genetic conditioning could play a role in better predicting and hopefully saving our coral reefs.
