Terrestrial medicinal plants have been documented in numerous studies carried out across the islands of Fiji but there is a dearth of research regarding marine resources. Ten marine medicinal seaweeds were documented in this study derived from information provided by villagers. Usage of these seaweeds varied depending on the type of illness and availability of resources. Common preparation methods of extracting medicinal properties from these resources include boiling the plant, raw consumption or simply using it as an ingredient in meals. Traditional healers are a crucial component of a traditional Fijian community as villagers depend on them for guidance to cure illnesses. The information collected for this study reveals an erosion of traditional knowledge occurring in Indigenous societies and highlights the need for documentation of this wealth of knowledge as well as an awareness of the importance of medicinal plants in Pacific Islands.","PeriodicalId":205998,"journal":{"name":"Journal of New Zealand & Pacific Studies","volume":"89 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126382825","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In particular, it changed the funeral processes of communal groups. Their collective ways of mourning were disrupted, as travel bans and social distance restrictions meant people were not allowed to physically gather. Despite these restrictions, these communities were able to maintain social connection from a distance. The communities which are being addressed in this report have been able to use the digital space to collectively engage with family and friends during the grieving process. This cohort has used the digital space to ensure funerals are still communal in nature and that family and friends remain able to gather to comfort and uplift each other. As a member of my community I present the funeral narratives, communal resilience and creativity through the digital space.","PeriodicalId":205998,"journal":{"name":"Journal of New Zealand & Pacific Studies","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115357371","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Creation and development of the Hawaiian consular network in Chile: The case of the Beyerbach administration, 1851–57","authors":"Frank Avilés Morgado","doi":"10.1386/nzps_00146_1","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1386/nzps_00146_1","url":null,"abstract":"The focus of this article is the process of the creation and installation of the consular network of the Kingdom of Hawai‘i in Chile (1851–57), which was headed by Eduard Beyerbach, its first consul in the South American country. With competition between the powers of the northern hemisphere for dominating territories in the Pacific, the sovereignty and independence of the island Kingdom of Hawai‘i was seriously threatened. This explains Honolulu’s interest in creating, maintaining and increasing its consular presence in the main ports of the world in general and, in this particular case, in those of the Chilean South Pacific. This study, based on an analysis of Chilean, American and Hawaiian primary sources of the time, stored in different historical and diplomatic archives, presents new information about Hawaiian foreign policy in relation to South America. It is argued that economic-commercial, national security and eventually humanitarian reasons explain the creation and enlargement of the Hawaiian Kingdom consular network in Chile in the 1850s. The research explores the precedents for the bilateral relationship and the identities and actions of those individuals – Beyerbach, in particular – who made possible its development.","PeriodicalId":205998,"journal":{"name":"Journal of New Zealand & Pacific Studies","volume":"44 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122890642","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
