O le aumalaga a le WESTAF ma se vaega o ausiva masani i le Commonwealth o Northern Marianas Islands.

E masani lava ona iai se va'aiga fa'afealofani i le Pasefika, na fausia i le tele o tausaga e ala i ata tifaga, televise ma fa'asalalauga. O se vateatea o motu teropika ma matafaga oneone pa'epa'e, niu fe'ave'ai, ma goto miti miti. O lenei ata e masani ona faatau atu o se parataiso mo i latou e mafai ona gafatia. O o tatou manatu e masani ona faʻatulagaina e ata vaevae mai faʻasalalauga ma faʻasalalauga. Pe o le pisi turisi o Waikiki, o nofoaga faapitoa o Bora Bora, po o le nofoaga iloga o Rapa Nui ma ona faatagata iloga?

O le malamalama i le lavelave o Oceania - e sili atu i le 10,000 motu eseese i le 3.2 miliona maila faatafafa - e manaʻomia ai le sili atu nai lo ata faʻasolopito. O itulagi o Melanesia, Micronesia, ma Polenisia, fa'atasi ai ma le pitonu'u o Ausetalia ma Niu Sila, o lo'o feso'ota'i vavalalata fa'atasi ma isi tagata soifua e ala i lu'itau tau si'osi'omaga ma geopolitical.

I le tala faasolopito, o le itulagi o le Pasefika ua feagai ma pulega fa'apolokiki ma le fa'aleagaina. Sa onosaia e tagata o le atunuu o Guam tolauapiga mamafa ma faasalaga oti i le taimi o le Taua Lona Lua a le Lalolagi, ae o le Atu Maresala ma Farani Polenisia sa faia i suesuega faaniukilia.

O le a iai sui mai konetineta e lapopoa e pei o Ausetalia ma laiti e pei o Atumotu o Pitcairn i Polenisia (50 le faitau aofaʻi), e tofia ai sui e toʻalua o le FestPAC. Fa'atasi i Hawai'i, o tagata Aborigine, Maaori, Samoa, CHamorro ma Carolinian o le a fa'aalia ma fefa'asoaa'i tu ma aga fa'aanamua o folauga, fai folauga, fau paopao, vaneina, lalagaina, taina o pe'a, mamanu o teuga, musika, ma siva fa'amanatu e fa'amatala ai fa'asinomaga anamua. na fausia i le natura i augatupulaga e ala i agaga ma tu masani.
