    Forced far from home: Unveiling the global reach of the blackbirding trade

    Blackbirding was the forced labour trade that uprooted Pacific Islanders, landing them on ships headed to far away shores. It's a disturbing chapter of history and while Australia's involvement has been somewhat documented, the true scale of blackbirding across the Pacific remains largely unknown. From remote islands to distant lands like Peru, there are still countless untold stories of where our ancestors were taken and the impact this dark history has left behind. You'll hear from Dr Line Noue-Kruse, a Samoan historian on how blackbirding fit into the context of a global slave trade. Plus, Imelda Miller, curator of the 'Say Our Names: Australian South Sea Islander' exhibition at Queensland Museum in Brisbane Australia. You'll also hear from Tongan Bishop Silouan Silala Vea traces the journey of his ancestors who were taken from Tonga to Peru. Culture Compass was produced by Deadset Studios for ABC Radio Australia.

    Century old Pacific secrets — when's the right time to pass down ancestral knowledge?

    Our elders are the keepers of our cultural keys. But what happens when they don't share it? Rotuma, an island of Fiji, is home to an ancient traditional headdress called the Suru. But the knowledge of this artefact only lies with a select few elders. They'd never been asked to share their wisdom so this special headdress hadn't been woven or worn for 1000 years. You'll hear from Letila Mitchel, a Rotuman artist, who led a team to seek out one of the few elders who held knowledge of the Suru. Iane Atalifo was part of the group from, Rako Pasefika, and shares his experiences helping to re-create the head dress and bring it to life, by wearing it while performing the dance of the warrior. Culture Compass was produced by Deadset Studios for ABC Radio Australia.

    How Tokelau and Tuvalu are finding hope for the future of their cultures in the face of climate change

    Rising sea levels are swallowing up traditional homes. So, how do you preserve a culture, when the land it’s tied to is slipping away?  Some of the most affected nations like Tokelau and Tuvalu are taking proactive steps to document and record their sacred sites, their language and their cultural practices as a last resort.   And they’re looking to unexpected places – like the metaverse and museums – to help them in the process.  You’ll hear from Paula Faiva, the Director for the Ministry of Climate, Oceans & Resilience in the Tokelau Government with a long history of fighting for climate justice in Tokelau, as well as Moira Simmons from the Tuvaluan Government about her country’s plans to go digital with their cultural preservation strategy.  Culture Compass was produced by Deadset Studios for ABC Radio Australia.

    All roads lead to home – connecting to culture in PNG's Port Moresby 

    Papua New Guinea is a country of steep valleys, raging rivers, thick rainforest — and not to mention the Pacific Ocean – that makes traversing the country a precarious task.  So when people migrate from their villages to the capital Port Moresby, sometimes they're leaving for good.  But just because you leave your village for the city, it doesn't mean you can't continue to practice your culture when you're away from home. In fact, distance makes the heart grow fonder, and we develop a deeper appreciation for the cultures we left behind.   In this episode we traverse Papua New Guinea to hear how three women are staying connected to their cross-country cultures.  Culture Compass was produced by Deadset Studios for ABC Radio Australia. ​​​​​​​
