This book is a ground-breaking collection that amplifies the voices of 52 Pasifika students from across Aotearoa, showcasing their poetic expressions about their Pasifika languages, cultures, and identities. The contributors, ranging from Year 7 to Year 13, include both reluctant and passionate writers, as well as first-time poets and award-winning student voices. The themes are deeply rooted in the experiences and heritage of Pasifika communities, offering a culturally rich and engaging resource that resonates with families, students, educators, and school leaders alike. Pasifika Navigators is beautifully illustrated throughout, with cover art by award-winning Pasifika artist Tui Emma Gillies, and is edited, designed, and published by an all-Pasifika team. The poetry collection captures the authentic and diverse voices of Pasifika youth in a powerful and visually stunning way.
