[pima.nius] Coming up on Pacific Pulse this weekend

3:59 PM |

For immediate release
Pacific Pulse
one ocean – many stories
Pacific Pulse ventures beyond the headlines with feature stories from Polynesia, Melanesia and Micronesia that reflect contemporary life across the Pacific and recognise the strengths, hopes, achievements and aspirations of the region.
 
Episode 10
 
In this episode of Pacific Pulse, Clement Paligaru visits an exhibition, Vaka Moana, touring Australia and New Zealand which celebrates the creative innovation and epic achievements of the seafarers who settled the Pacific in ocean going canoes, or vaka. Also on display, artefacts from this era of migration and examples of the cultural objects these pioneers brought with them as they settled across the Pacific.
 
Tania Nugent travels to the village of Meiwok in Papua New Guinea to meet the community's most famous son, Justice Nicholas Kirriwom. He was one of the first of his people to graduate in law at the University of Papua New Guiniea in the 1970s. His professional life means he spends much of his time in the capital, Port Moresby, and the industrial centre of Lae. But his sense of duty to his family and community sees him frequently return home to his village, where he uses his knowledge to help his people.
