Description
"This book celebrates without apology the fact that indigenous spirituality lives and breathes in our Pacific person and personhood. In so doing, it celebrates what is core to indigeneity in the Pacific: our names and our naming; our knowing, being and seeing; and our identities and sense of belonging. It exposes how our grip on our own search for how we should understand the many dimensions of our Pacific-ness is slipping, and it offers a thoughtful conversation on how we can get better traction on it and really own it." - Tui Atua Tupua Tamasese Ta'isi Efi, Former Head of State of Samoa.
