“…This should mean all Indigenous voices—not just those with federal recognition. For example, when it comes to climate justice, the Pacific Island nations are directly impacted by rising sea levels as their lands are becoming submerged and uninhabitable (Enari & Jameson, 2021). Regardless of federal status, it is important that all Indigenous communities under US occupation are involved in leading incorporation of ITEK into federal decision-making, while also honoring tribal sovereignty and treaty rights.…”

In response to the mounting global climate crisis, the Biden administration began developing guidelines for incorporating Indigenous Traditional Ecological Knowledge into US federal decision-making. Though Indigenous Peoples are the original caretakers and stewards of the land, colonization, breached treaties, and false narratives have affected self-determination, treaty rights, and land management. This has negative consequences on the environment, and health of all our relations. When considering the sensitivity of knowledge, information, and data about sacred cultural systems, many Indigenous communities are wary of the high potential of misrepresentation, disrespectful handling, and cooptation. These concerns only deepen with conversations about opening public access to Indigenous Traditional Ecological Knowledge because such policies would allow for the broad sharing of data and its ongoing re-use. We assert that Indigenous Traditional Ecological Knowledge must be incorporated respectfully, knowledge integration must benefit all Indigenous communities, and all Indigenous communities must lead in the process of incorporating Indigenous Traditional Ecological Knowledge into federal decision-making.

“…In general, Pacific peoples in Aotearoa New Zealand continue to maintain strong social, spiritual, and familial links to their Pacific Island countries of heritage. Pacific peoples in Aotearoa New Zealand traditionally support family in the Pacific Islands through the sending of remittances and other material donations, as well as through accommodating and assisting with the settlement of new arrivals from the Pacific (Schanzel et al, 2014;Enari & Viliamu Jameson, 2021). The increasingly significant size of the Pacific population in Aotearoa New Zealand, the shared history between Aotearoa New Zealand and the Pacific Islands, and the ongoing sense of responsibility to the Pacific region, mean that the health and wellbeing of Aotearoa New Zealand will always be linked to the health status of Pacific peoples (New Zealand College of Public Health Medicine, 2019).…”

“…Little has been specifically documented around the role of physiotherapists in disaster responses in the Pacific region, despite the recognised increasing frequency and impact of natural disasters (Enari & Viliamu Jameson, 2021) and infectious disease epidemics (Mishra et al, 2007;Morand et al, 2014). Examples of recent disasters in the region include the 2009 tsunami in Samoa (Leong-Newell et al, 2012); 2011 Christchurch earthquakes (Ardagh et al, 2012;Mulligan et al, 2015); 2019 measles epidemic in Samoa (Isaacs, 2020;Thornton, 2020); 2019 eruption of Whakaari/White Island (Cuthberson et al, 2020); and the Hunga Tonga-Hunga Ha'apai eruption in December 2021 (Burki, 2022).…”

Disasters can have sudden and devastating impacts on the health systems in the Pacific region, many parts of which are in a precarious state. The region is increasingly recognised as being prone to disasters such as those caused by climate change or epidemics. Physiotherapists have been identified as vital members of the interprofessional health team that responds to such catastrophic events. Despite this, in the Pacific region little is known about the nature of physiotherapists' involvement and the multifaceted roles physiotherapists play in responding to disasters. This clinical commentary contains 1) an evaluation of the relevant literature sourced to describe the current knowledge base; and 2) a commentary on the experiences gained from physiotherapists' response to the Samoa measles outbreak in 2019. Outcomes from the commentary have formed the basis of recommendations for the role the physiotherapy profession in Aotearoa New Zealand could have in responding to future potential disasters in the wider Pacific region.

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 employ talanoa–vā (relational sense-making and meaning-making) as a critical analytical framework for interrogating and unpacking the complexities associated with e–talanoa as a Moana–Pacific research praxis. e–talanoa considers our current post–covid research space and how Pacific researchers navigate their ethical vā–relations within the temporal–spatial and physical–online boundaries that govern meaningful research undertakings. Being open about the challenges enables further understanding of the dynamic and fluid, yet contextually grounded spaces in which e–talanoa as a method can be realised.
