“Ethnic cleansing isn’t just something that they do physically to people, it’s something that happens in the mind.”
This was said by Haunani-Kay Trask in an onscreen interview in the documentary “Noho Hewa.” Haunani goes on to say that ethnic cleansing establishes within a people’s mind-set that “You have no place to live. You do not have a home, so you do not exist.” This manao (thought) is what Anne Keala Kelly is trying to capture in her first feature length documentary, “Noho Hewa.”

The beautiful idillyic isles of Palau manifest the beauty of our pacific ocean and region. But how is it that our Pacific Islands are always paid off by those greater powers to clean up their wrong doings. Our PACIFIC SUPERHEROES of Palau just doing good trying to create a win win situation for all peoples worldwide I believe, but on the other hand this is just the continued abuse of our good will as the majority of the western world steps back and says no to helping out. Hmmm all so quick to fire a bullet, but ever so slow to stop the bleeding aye. PACIFIC SUPERHEROES to the rescue

‘Politicians debate over change of name for French Polynesia
(Tahitipresse) - During the last Assembly session Thursday in Papeete, French Polynesia President Oscar Temaru and Opposition leader Edouard Fritch talked about a possible change of name for French Polynesia. A referendum on this issue could be organized, Temaru said.
Fritch, from Gaston Flosse’s pro-autonomy Tahoeraa huiraatira, claimed the name “Maohi Nui” Temaru has been using lately for French Polynesia is improper.
Maohi means Polynesians in reo maohi, the Tahitian language, some linguists say. But some other linguists think this word is not the correct one. Continue reading ‘Name Change for French Polynesia?’
