    Our ocean has no borders: wayfinding, memory and labels that divide - Devpolicy Blog from the Development Policy Centre (opens the original)

    Those whose islands fall within the formal definition of Polynesia have every reason to celebrate the film Moana with pride. Hawaiians, Samoans and others represented most directly in it should celebrate this historic achievement, and the rest of us across the Pacific should celebrate with them. For those of us outside Polynesia, however, the relationship can feel more complicated. We may wonder whether this is also our story and whether we should be grateful to Seiuli Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson
