The impact of Pasifika people in sport and rugby
Pasifika people can be seen making impacts in sports across the world and in Aotearoa New Zealand. However, limited research shows sport from an Indigenous cultural lens, which reveals a more holistic appreciation for their role in sport and societal development. With a focus on rugby players, this report explores their contribution to the spaces and how they have not only excelled in their chosen sports but have also used their platforms to be r…
Tatau
Sāmoan cultural motifs are more visible than ever. These motifs carry stories of our ancestors as they navigated the vast moana in search of new lands. Those same ancestors created the tatau to store valuable information of our people. Now, Sāmoan people and culture are internationally visible throughout popular culture, from Hollywood superstars such as The Rock Dwayne Johnson to NFL legends Troy Polamalu and the movie Moana. As a result, debate…
What are we hiding? - The loud silence on the racialized experiences of Indigenous, Brown, and Black female athletes in Aotearoa New Zealand
The recent global attention on the racism experienced by athletes has seen a number of sporting codes come under scrutiny in their respective countries and worldwide. In the colonized countries of Aotearoa New Zealand, and the land known as Australia, much of these racist behaviours have targeted Indigenous, Brown, and Black male athletes and have come from spectators, sports commentators, and the public, primarily on mainstream and social media.…
The experiences of Indigenous academics in the diaspora
As Indigenous outward migration expands, some diaspora groups are larger than their population back home which is the case for many in the Pacific diaspora. Research with Indigenous peoples is largely conducted in their homelands, with minimal research on their experiences in other countries. As Pacific Indigenous academics, we employed a dimension of talanoa in the written form to provide insights into our academic journeys. The direction of the…
As It Is Above, So It Is Below
This article explores the development of Indigenous knowledge in relation to the ecosystem and how traditional concepts of planetary well-being can enhance ecosocial work approaches. From an academic point of view, ecosocial work is a unique paradigm that seeks to understand a holistic view of human health, social justice, and environmental sustainability. There is a strong focus on community development in ecosocial work, which is why the profes…
Indigenizing Research via Talanoa
In the tradition of approaches that call for decolonizing research, this study demonstrates how talanoa , an Indigenous research methodology, exceeds the scope of Collaborative Auto-Ethnography (CAE) by embedding cultural authenticity, relationality, and reciprocity within the research process. By framing talanoa, the authors examined the sociocultural phenomenon and practice of "nurturing vā ", as a core concept of Pacific Indigenous research. H…
Family first
Throughout the Pacific, the whānau/'āiga (family) is an integral element of community and identity. Within Polynesian communities, it is common for the whānau (family - Māori) or 'aiga (family - Samoan) to be the most important aspect of one's existence. For many Polynesian (Māori and Pacific) athletes, the family unit is central to their ability to succeed in professional sport. The cultural identity that is developed within the family unit as w…
More Than a Name
Indigenous athletes have long been subject to racism throughout sporting systems. Such examples include being racially abused by opposition athletes and fans. For Indigenous peoples, their names carry their identity and history of generations; connecting them to their ancestors. Sadly, in some instances their esteemed names and identities have been bastardised intentionally. One incident includes an influential sport commentator making fun of an …
Pacific Youth Well-being - Diaspora perspectives
Pacific youth in diaspora have faced many well-being challenges. This group has had to navigate the tensions between holding on to their Pacific values and participating in Western society, which at times can be contradictory. As this group comes of age in their host country, their well-being becomes ever more important. In this article, we explore the well-being journey of this cohort and their stories of resilience. We show how these groups hav…
Fa‘atama
This paper acknowledges that queerness has always existed in the tropics, especially in Sāmoa. In traditional Sāmoan life, there has always been more than two genders. While much attention has been given to fa‘afafine, we seek to raise the visibility of another queer group, fa’atama (formally fa‘atane) or tomboys—Sāmoans assigned female at birth (AFAB), who either identify as masculine, are attracted to females, or both. Not only is this group ma…
Indigenising research
Growing interest in Pacific issue's has meant a surge in Pacific research across the globe. Sadly, some research on Pacific people has been done without Pacific knowledge, wisdom and culture. As Pacific researchers, we understand the importance of outputs that interweave our ancestral and cultural wisdom, whilst centring and privileging our people's narratives. Through the birth of our Moanaroa Pacific Research group, we explore the importance of…
Covid-19 funerals
The COVID-19 worldwide pandemic brought the world to a standstill. In particular, it changed the funeral processes of communal groups. Their collective ways of mourning were disrupted, as travel bans and social distance restrictions meant people were not allowed to physically gather. Despite these restrictions, these communities were able to maintain social connection from a distance. The communities which are being addressed in this report have …
Indigenous Cultures and Post-Mortem Photography
This paper explores the differences between Māori and Samoan approaches to post-mortem photography. This paper will show that Māori consider the notion of post-mortem photography as offensive, while for some Samoans, post-mortem photography is acceptable. This article emerges due to the scarcity of research on post-mortem photography in Indigenous communities. We analyze the underlying beliefs of these communities in relation to post-mortem photo…
Experiences of Indigenous (Māori/Pasifika) early career academics
This article presents narratives from 13 Indigenous early career academics (ECAs) at one university in Auckland, New Zealand. These experiences are likely to represent those of Indigenous Māori and Pasifika ECAs nationally, given the small, centralised nature of the national academy of Aotearoa New Zealand. The narratives contain testimony, fictionalised vignettes of experience, and poetic expressions. Meeting the demands of an academic role in o…
The Professional Athlete Career Lifespan
The rise of non-European sport athletes has meant a need for their cultural ways to be acknowledged in the sporting arena. Although the players' cultures are visible in sports, through war chants, tattoos, and cultural singing, much of their interactions as athletes are underpinned by foreign western centric philosophies. Many of them are forced to work in an environment which privileges individual capitalism, over their cultural values of servic…
Cultural Pride
Indigenous people are over-represented as professional players in many sporting codes, and recently a trend has developed whereby Indigenous athletes are choosing to play internationally for their heritage nations as opposed to the top-tier countries they reside in. With regard to rugby league and rugby union, many of these athletes are Pasifika who have had minimal exposure to their heritage nations, being born and raised in, for example, Aotear…
E–talanoa as an Online Research Method
Talanoa (Moana-centred orality) is a widely used Indigenous Pacific discursive approach within research contexts across the diaspora. In a globalised and technologically enhanced era, the online space continues to shape Moana (Oceania) peoples’ talanoa engagement and communication. e–talanoa in this article is an extension of talanoa research engagement and practice. We unpack the contexts in which e–talanoa is negotiated and made sense, and empl…
Tattoo my mouth
Indigenous people experience their worlds simultaneously through and because of language itself. To examine the relationship between language and place, we evaluate the current discourse and state of gagana Sāmoa (Samoan language) in Australia. As Samoan researchers, we situate ourselves accordingly by drawing on our language accounts and those of others in the diaspora. By focusing on these talanoaga—stories, sharing, and discussions across Quee…
Balance Is Better”
The purpose of this study was to examine how wellbeing is associated with the setting in which sport participation takes place and the breadth of sport participation. Demographic characteristics (age, gender, ethnicity, deprivation, (dis)ability status), recreational physical activity, and wellbeing were assessed in cohorts of adolescents (11-17 years) between 2017 and 2019 in Aotearoa, New Zealand. Better wellbeing was associated with participat…
The Value of Sport
Insight into the unique benefits of sport participation above and beyond those associated with participation in other physical activities among adolescents is limited in Aotearoa New Zealand (NZ). The purpose of this study was to examine the association between wellbeing and organised sport participation among adolescents whilst accounting for demographic characteristics and other recreational physical activity. Demographic characteristics (age, …
Negotiating the relational vā in the University
The Covid-19 global phenomenon has significantly disrupted economic, political and social systems at all levels. For Pasifika peoples, the impact of Covid-19 has exacerbated inequities that have long existed within the order of capitalist and neo-liberal ideologies. Higher education has been a home for such discourse, privileging western knowledge systems that inform the nature of teaching and learning, and the so-called image of the ‘individual’…
Digital innovation and funeral practices
The COVID-19 worldwide pandemic has caused the world to stop. It has disrupted traditional funeral processes for Māori and Samoan peoples. Their collective ways of mourning were particularly affected, as social distance restrictions and travel bans meant they were unable to physically gather in large numbers. Despite the disruption caused by COVID-19, digital innovation has meant these groups have been able to remain socially connected, at a phys…
Ancient Structures of West Moana
This paper will observe three ancient structures of Western Oceania and analyze their social significance and historic impacts on the native civilizations therein, alongside their relationships with each other among Western Moana cultures. Additionally, this paper will focus primarily on the early kingdoms of Tonga, Sāmoa, Wallis and Futuna; exploring the native land structures of the Star Mounds and Pulemelei mound of Sāmoa, Fort Talietumu in ‘U…
Lost in translation
This paper reflects on reflexive thematic analyses with Pacific peoples from different cultural and language backgrounds. This paper will briefly describe reflexive thematic analysis according to Braun et al. (2019) and reflect upon issues concerning thematic analysis and Pacific cultures and languages. As academics, researchers, and practitioners, “we engage in a co-construction of knowledge” with our communities while adhering to cross-cultural…
Dua Tani
Colonization, modernity and migration have impacted indigenous peoples globally. Of particular interest, is how identity formation of indigenous peoples are affected through these events. This article explores the life narratives of 20 Pacific Islanders in Brisbane, Australia, and their perceptions of identity. Through talanoa (culturally appropriate conversation) a deeper understanding of how Pacific Island people navigate, use, build and (re)sh…
Decolonising Climate Change
This article calls for transdisciplinary, experimental, and decolonial imaginations of climate change and Pacific futures in an age of great planetary undoing. Drawing from our personal and academic knowledge of the Pacific from West Papua to Samoa, we highlight the need for radical forms of imagination that are grounded in an ethos of inclusivity, participation, and humility. Such imaginations must account for the perspectives, interests, and st…
Climate Justice
The negative effects of climate change disproportionately impact Pacific Island nations. Although Pacific Nations contribute the least to climate change compared to other nations, they are the most impacted by rising sea levels. These negative effects can see nations within the region completely submerged or uninhabitable. This article highlights how the Pacific Island diaspora in Australia are acting in solidarity with their homelands in the fig…

A Māori and Pasifika Label—An Old History, New Context
The term ‘Māori and Pasifika’ is widely used in Aotearoa, New Zealand to both unite and distinguish these peoples and cultures. As a collective noun of separate peoples, Māori and Pasifika are used to acknowledge the common Pacific ancestry that both cultures share, whilst distinguishing Māori as Indigenous peoples of Aotearoa (New Zealand), and Pasifika as migrants from other lands in the Pacific region. The term ‘Māori and Pasifika’ is a ‘label…

The Digital Vā
The COVID-19 pandemic has caused the world to stop. It has halted societal modes of being and operating, and collective responsibility is now premised on a discourse of prevention or fear. These tensions are also relevant to higher education. In this situation report we aim to elucidate such tensions through Pacific Indigenous philosophy that affirms collective and relational ontologies by way of transnational Pasifika engagement in the universit…
E tumau le fa'avae ae fesuia'i faiga
As Samoan academics, we acknowledge the problematic usage of the term Pasifika. This term does not describe the distinctive, ethnic-specific nature of each Pacific nation. We also acknowledge the complexities of recording ethnicity itself, given that many people belong to multiple ethnic backgrounds. However, for the purposes of this article, we use the term Pasifika to highlight the shared similarities and collective nature of peoples of the Pac…
