Congratulations and mahalo to every single person from Hawaii and the rest of Oceania for the extraordinary Festival of Pacific Arts & Culture. My family and friends immersed ourselves in it: performances at the Hawai‘i Convention Center (a beautifully designed hall), in Kakaako and beyond; learning and sharing at the wa‘a ceremony at Kualoa; hearing the brilliant Jamaica Osorio speak on a nonstate conception of sovereignty; meeting the warm and friendly delegates in the convention hall hale with their beautiful crafts.
What a joy to celebrate the Pacific community!
