In my mind I see, children all throughout the South Pacific, even up to the Marshall Islands into even the island of Guam, maybe Vietnam too. They each have a laptop and tablet each. On the internet they are taught curriculum subjects from New Zealand.
Their learning is accelerated and a generation of Polynesian (and Asian?) children arise, supported by their New Zealand friends nearby and afar, to allow the potential of Polynesia’s youth to be all they will be, for the gifts in their lives the world will need to be stronger, smarter, more creative – in the years to come. If we all do this for them that’s so going to happen.
This is the burden that sits very strongly on me today. I really want to see our groovy and unique white, Pakeha New Zealanders do it, just to teach the world what cool New Zealand citizens look like as architects of the world – and to push back the powers of greed, on our Island dwelling Polynesian friends.
Although we admire the braun of Polynesian peoples natural dna (Jonah Lomu storms to mind) - it is their Peaceful spirit (most days), their respect for their elderly, their creativity so rich yet largely untapped, their spiritual gifts, the notable and noble warmth of heart, a trusting innocence in the good of the wider world and their unique thoughts that dwell within their minds; that we will need to see more of in the world, twenty years out from this point. We need to invest more in it.
In Samoa and New Zealand News via Talamua website: The New Zealand Governor General, Rt. Hon. Sir Jerry Mataparae was in Samoa meeting with our close friends.
His Highness the Head of State Tui Atua Tupua Tamasese Efi, Prime Minister Tuilaepa Lupesoliai Sailele Malielegaoi and the people of Samoa were celebrating the continuing legacy left by those who struggled to fight for Samoa’s independence.
NZ and Samoa remain close in the spirit of friendship sealed with the signing of the Treaty of Friendship - a bond that is part of Samoa’s commemoration of her 50th anniversary.
“Samoa is the only pacific country who has a friendship treaty with New Zealand,” said the Governor General.
Sir Mateparae last visited Samoa in 2009 as the New Zealand Defence Force Director and now leads New Zealand delegation to the celebration of Samoa’s 50th independence celebrations. (more…)

New Zealand & USA - How working together in the future can be economically healthy.
So in regards to the USA’s aspirations within Asia-Pacific in years to come, New Zealand’s Murray McCulley has been hanging out in the US, talking to a few peeps including US Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton.
Here’s some ways that Aotearoa New Zealand may work with the Islands Nations of the South Pacific and also the USA, for win-win fair and just partnerships for all people listed below.
Sharing perspectives is a start to working closer together. Maori academic Materoa Dodd once wrote about the need for “cultural match” to be found in trading partners negotiations and relationships in order for them to be properous and on even footing in strong relationships of equality. What New Zealand, Pacific Island Nations and also the USA must do is find the cultural match, in navigating strong relationships forward.
The Wellington Declaration is a start to relationship between New Zealand and the USA. Afghanistan, the Middle East, North Africa are areas where both nations can work in. Asian regional economic planning in locating, creating, fostering, supplying, building robust, useful and wise trade markets with respect to the sovereignty and uniqueness of the cultures exchanging products is the preferred path ahead.
Unsurprisngly, USA’s National Security Council, the Congress, the Pentagon and the Department of Homeland Security all fancy a stronger relationship with Aotearoa New Zealand.
Mr McCulley notes NZ as a South Pacific country “has a heritage deeply rooted in Europe. Our values and principles are strongly focused around the rule of law, human rights [sic] and a commitment to democratic [sic] institutions are deeply imbedded in European tradition.” Our system of law is in part based on the Treaty of Waitangi and also the Westminster legal system, initially. Our case law also provides insights the UK too could now learn from. International Treaties (if just) also guide our law’s navigation when useful and observing the sovereignty of New Zealand citizens and our Island neighbors cultures, rights and economic interests – with the view to protect the peoples of our territories from exploitative attitudes or predatory behaviors that can stunt economic potential and development of nations in the South Pacific peoples too.
Common interests of trade and security unite us as potential friends. Other aspects though, are completely defined by our geographical difference in the world. Economic prospects of New Zealand and Island nations of the South Pacific are now intertwined with our rapidly growing trading partners of Asian countries. An increasing involvement and responsibility for stable sustainability of the Pacific unites our diverse perspectives. Opportunity and responsibility thus rest on New Zealand’s shoulders at this time in history. (more…)
Blessed are they that hunger and thirst, for they shall be filled--Book of John, Apostle of Love.
Barbara Dreaver has been doing some crucial reporting in Kiwiland, about the water shortages in Tokelau, Tuvalu and Samoa.
Desalination plants are helping turn sea water into fresh water that’s drinkable for these Island Peoples villages. In addition, 75% of Afghanistan‘s people do not have access to safe drinking water yet.
If you’re in a position to make a difference, you possess a ticker that isn’t sedated, and would like to help – click on each nation’s names, to ‘go there’ to be the hand of change.
