Pasifika Navigators are constantly trying to find their place in the world while still wanting to find, reconnect and honour who they are, what they are and everything that comes with this. Pasifika students across Aotearoa share their dreams, aspirations, life changing challenges and learnings. The poems in this book help us better connect, understand and support each other as we journey back home to ourselves.

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.
