Pehea e komo ai ka iini pumehana no ke kaulike a me ka pololei i loko o ka haʻiʻōlelo honua i hoʻomalu ʻia e ka ʻōlelo anu o ka hoʻēmi a me ka hoʻololi ʻana? Pehea mākou e noho maikaʻi ai me ka naʻau?

ʻO ka ʻelele WESTAF me kahi hui o nā hula kuʻuna ma Commonwealth o ka ʻĀpana Marianas ʻĀkau.

He mea maʻamau ka manaʻo aloha o ka Pākīpika, i hoʻomohala ʻia i nā makahiki he mau makahiki e nā kiʻiʻoniʻoni, televise a me nā hoʻolaha. He ākea o nā mokupuni ʻoluʻolu me nā kahakai one keʻokeʻo, nā kumu niu luli, a me nā napoʻo moeʻuhane. Kūʻai pinepine ʻia kēia kiʻi i paradaiso no ka poʻe hiki ke loaʻa. Hoʻokumu pinepine ʻia ko mākou manaʻo e nā kiʻi ʻāpana mai ka media a me nā hoʻolaha. ʻO ka mākaʻikaʻi paʻakikī o Waikiki, nā hale hoʻokipa kūʻokoʻa o Bora Bora, a i ʻole ke kahua mōʻaukala o Rapa Nui me kona mau kiʻi kiʻi?

ʻO ka hoʻomaopopo ʻana i ka paʻakikī o Oceania - ʻoi aku ma mua o 10,000 mau kaiaulu mokupuni ʻokoʻa ma waena o 3.2 miliona mau mile kuea - pono e ʻoi aku ma mua o kēia mau kiʻi mythologized. ʻO nā ʻāpana o Melanesia, Maikonesia, a me Polenekia, me ka ʻāpana ʻāina o Australia a me New Zealand, ua hoʻopaʻa pū ʻia me ke koena o ke kanaka e nā pilikia pili kaiapuni a me ka geopolitical.

Ma ka mōʻaukala, ua alo ka ʻāina Pākīpika i ka noho ʻana a me ka hoʻohana ʻana. Ua hoʻomanawanui ka poʻe ʻōiwi o Guam i nā kahua hoʻomoana hana a me ka hoʻopaʻi ʻia i ka wā o ke Kaua Honua II, ʻoiai ua hoʻāʻo ʻia ʻo Marshall Islands a me French Polynesia. Ua kāʻili ʻia nā mokupuni e like me Nauru no kā lākou waiwai, a ke kū nei ka ʻāina holoʻokoʻa i nā hoʻoweliweli koʻikoʻi mai ka hoʻololi ʻana i ke aniau me ka hāʻawi ʻana i lalo o 1% o nā hoʻokuʻu kinoea hoʻomehana honua.

ʻO ka ʻelele WESTAF a me kā lākou mau mea hoʻokipa mai ka American Samoa Council on Arts, Culture and Humanities.

Eia nō naʻe, ʻoiai kēia mau pilikia, hoʻomau ka moʻomeheu Pākīpika. ʻO ka ʻO ka ʻahaʻaina o ka Pākīpika a me ka moʻomeheu (FestPAC), i mālama ʻia i kēlā me kēia ʻehā makahiki, he hōʻike ia i kēia kūpaʻa. Hoʻonohonoho ʻia i kēia Iune 6 - 16, ma Honolulu, Hawaiʻi, e hōʻuluʻulu ʻo FestPAC ma luna o 2,100 mau ʻelele a me nā kaukani malihini mai 26 mau ʻāina a me nā mana o ka Pākīpika e hoʻolauleʻa a kaʻana like i kā lākou hoʻoilina moʻomeheu.

E loaʻa ana nā ʻelele mai nā ʻāina nui e like me Australia a me ka liʻiliʻi e like me nā mokupuni ʻo Pitcairn o Polenekia (ka heluna kanaka 50), e hoʻokomo ana i ʻelua mau ʻelele FestPAC. Ma Hawaiʻi nei, e hōʻike a kaʻana like ana ka poʻe ʻōiwi ʻōiwi, Maaori, Samoan, CHamorro a me Carolinian i nā kuʻuna kahiko o ka hoʻokele moku, ka holo moku, ka hana waʻa, ke kālai ʻana, ka ulana ʻana, ka peʻa ʻana, ka hoʻolālā lole, nā mele, a me nā hulahula e wehewehe ana i nā ʻike kahiko. i hana ʻia ma ke ʻano i nā hanauna ma o nā ʻuhane a me nā kuʻuna. E hui hou ana lākou i kahi diaspora Pākīpika, ʻoiai ʻo ka mamao o ka ʻāina, ka moʻomeheu like ʻole, a i hoʻopuehu ʻia ma kahi moana hoʻomaha ʻole, ua pili nui ʻia e ka hopena like.

ʻO kēia ʻāpana FestPAC, ke kumuhana Hoʻoulu Lāhui: Regenerating Oceania, ua gestating no ʻewalu mau makahiki, ma hope o ka hoʻopaʻa ʻana o ka maʻi maʻi COVID honua i kāna hoʻomaka mua 2020. ʻO ka SPC, a i ʻole ka Pākīpika Community, he hui hoʻomohala kūloko nona a hoʻomalu ʻia e kona mau lāhui a me nā ʻāina i komo, ua lawelawe ʻo ia ma ke ʻano he kahu no FestPAC mai kona hoʻomaka ʻana. Mālama ʻia ʻo FestPAC e ka 'Aha 'Aha o ka Pākīpika (CPAC) me kahi komite hui a me ka hui hana i hoʻopiʻi ʻia me ka logistic a me nā hana e pono ai no kahi ʻahaʻaina manaʻo nui, e pili ana i ka hale, nā ʻōnaehana, ka loaʻa ʻana o ka visa a me ka hoʻēmi ʻana i ka biosecurity o nā ʻano invasive e hūnā ana i nā mea kanu a me nā huahana holoholona i hoʻouna ʻia i kona kahakai no ka hoʻohana ʻana i nā hana kuʻuna. Epic i ka laulā a me ka moʻolelo e ka poʻe hoʻomaʻamaʻa moʻomeheu, he hana koʻikoʻi ʻo FestPAC, a aia ma kahi o ke kihi.

Hōʻike ʻo Reggie Meredith Fitiao kiʻi kaulana ʻo Samoa i kāna siapo, a i ʻole kapa kapa, me kāna kāne ʻo Suʻa Ulisone Fitiao, he mea pena kiʻi kuʻuna Samoa.

Aia i loko o kēia hui labyrinthine o ka mōʻaukala Pākīpika a me ka hoʻoilina i loaʻa ai ka Hui ʻAi Moku Mokuʻāina Komohana (WESTAF) ʻimi ʻo ia e lilo i hoa moʻomeheu hilinaʻi, e hoʻonui i kā mākou kūpaʻa i ka hoʻomau ʻana i ka nānā ʻana i ka hāʻawi kālā kaulike a me nā ʻano kaiaola noʻeau like ʻole ma ka ʻāina komohana. I Iune 2022, Ua hoʻolaha ʻo WESTAF i kahi hui like ʻole me nā ʻāina ʻekolu o ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa (ua kapa ʻia ʻo ia ʻo "nā ʻāina") o Guam (nā pūʻali koa hope loa o FestPAC i 2016), ʻo Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI) a me ʻAmelika ʻAmelika, ʻaʻole i hōʻike ʻia ma ke ʻano he wahi i loko o ka ʻĀpana hana noʻeau ʻAmelika a ma nā kamaʻilio e pili ana i ke kākoʻo noʻeau.

ʻOiai kākoʻo ʻia e ka Hāʻawi Lahui no ka ʻOihana (NEA) a me ka Hāʻawi Lahui no nā Humanities (NEH), kēia mau ʻāina, a ʻoi aku hoʻi i ko lākou poʻe ʻōiwi o CHamorro, Carolinian a me ka poʻe Sāmoa e poina a poina ʻia e ka ʻāpana moʻomeheu US, ʻoiai he kamaʻāina lākou. ʻOiaʻiʻo, ʻaʻole paʻakikī ia e wehewehe. ʻO ka hele ʻana i kēia mau mokupuni he hana pipiʻi a paʻakikī. Ke holo nei i Guam mai ka ʻāina nui o ʻAmelika, he mea maʻamau ka lele ʻana mai kahi mokulele nui ma ke komohana a hiki i Iapana, a laila ma ka hema ʻehā hola i Guam. ʻElua wale nō huakaʻi i kēlā me kēia pule – i ke ahiahi Poalua a me ka Pōʻalima – i Honolulu a me ke kapikala o Samoa ʻo Pago Pago. He mokulele pōkole ʻo CNMI mai Guam, a ʻo nā ʻāina ʻelua e mālama i ka hapa nui o nā poʻe hoʻomaha ʻAsia, ʻoiai he mau hōkele haʻahaʻa wale nō ʻo American Samoa.

He mea kālai lāʻau e hana ana ma Samoa ʻAmelika.

Ke ʻimi nei ʻo WESTAF i kēia hui hou e hoʻokumu i nā ala a me nā manawa e hoʻokomo ai i ka US Pacific Jurisdictions i nā papahana, nā lawelawe, a me nā hana a WESTAF e hāʻawi aku ai, a e hōʻoiaʻiʻo iā lākou i kahi noho ma ka papaʻaina i nā kamaʻilio e hoʻokumu ana i ka hoʻolaha moʻomeheu a me nā kulekele aupuni. Ke manaʻoʻiʻo nei mākou ʻo ka hoʻokuʻu wale ʻia ʻana ma ke ʻano maʻamau. ʻOiaʻiʻo, hoʻokomo he kikowaena i ka ʻike ʻana iā mākou iho he hui. Ma ko mākou hui pū ʻana me nā ʻĀina, ua kūpaʻa mākou i ka hoʻonui ʻana i nā pūnaewele no nā mea pena kiʻi a me nā hui noʻeau o nā panalāʻau Pākīpika a hāʻawi i nā kumuwaiwai i kekahi o nā kaiāulu mamao loa o ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa. Ke ʻimi nei mākou e hoʻomohala holoʻokoʻa i nā papahana, e hoʻokumu i kahi hui e pili ana i nā waiwai Pākīpika, moʻomeheu, a me nā mea nui. ʻO nā alakaʻi o nā ʻoihana noʻeau o nā mokuʻāina komohana he 13 i wehewehe mua i ko mākou ʻāina ua ʻapo maikaʻi lākou i kēia hoʻomohala ʻana, me ke kānalua ʻole. Ke hoʻomau nei i kā mākou hoʻokō ʻana i ka hoʻokomo ʻana, lawelawe ʻo WESTAF i kēia manawa i kahi ʻāpana mai ka Arctic Coast a hiki i ka Desert Southwest, a mai ka Great Plains a i nā Mokupuni Pākīpika.

No laila pehea e pili ai kēia kūpaʻa iā FestPAC? Ma ka launa pū me ka NEA a me ka Mellon Foundation, Ke alakaʻi nei ʻo WESTAF i nā kumuwaiwai kālā e kōkua i kēlā me kēia mana o ka US e lawe mai i kā lākou mau ʻelele i Hawaiʻi e komo i FestPAC me ke koena o ke kaiāulu Pākīpika. ʻOiai ma laila, e hoʻokipa ana mākou i kahi ʻaha hui aloha – ka mua o ia ʻano – ma waena o nā keʻena hana noʻeau o ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa a me nā ʻaha kūkā kanaka, ma ke kamaʻilio ʻana me nā noho o ka NEA a me ka NEH, ma ka ʻO Shangri La Hale Hōʻikeʻike o Islamic Art, Culture and Design, he kikowaena o ka Doris Duke Foundation. E uhi ana ke kūkākūkā i nā kumuhana like ʻole, e like me ke ʻano o ka mālama ʻana a me ke kūkulu ʻana i ka ʻike moʻomeheu ʻōiwi e hoʻōla a hoʻokumu i ke kūpaʻa ʻoi aʻe, ʻoi aku ka nui o nā hopohopo koʻikoʻi i ka ʻāina e like me ke olakino, ka hoʻololi ʻana i ke aniau, ka hoʻonaʻauao ʻana, ka trauma mōʻaukala a me ka hoʻonui ʻana i nā pilikia geopolitical. .

He kanaka hana waa me kona moku ma Guam, e hoomakaukau ana no FestPAC.

Me nā hoa like me ka Hawaiʻi State Foundation on Culture and the Arts a me ka ʻAha Hawaiʻi no nā Humanities, e mālama pū ana mākou i ʻaha hoʻokipa, e hui pū ana i nā ʻelele ʻelele o ka ʻāina, nā ʻelele moʻomeheu Hawaiʻi, a me nā keʻena federal US, e lawe ana i ka lokahi a me ka launa pū me Oceania a me kāna mau hoʻoilina moʻomeheu ʻōiwi.

Ma ka hana pū ʻana me ka US Pacific Jurisdictions i kēia hui hou, e hoʻomau ʻo WESTAF i ka hana like ʻana me kā mākou mau hoa ma ka ʻāina, me ka manaʻo he mea nui ka inclusiveness, expression a me nā hiʻohiʻona multidimensional i kā mākou mau waiwai moʻomeheu like a me ko mākou lāhui kanaka.
