Recently in 2010 the word "Polynesia" has sat on the back burner when describing the cultures of the Pacific or Asia Pacific, using the term "Pacific Islander" or "Asia Pacific cultures". This has brought up other questions on how to tell or write Polynesian History, as a Asia Pacifican or other term and there are complications on formalities and boundaries on how and who should proceed.
"I use the Pacific Islander label for history and if relevant, I use it for business too. This area can be a little awkward for some people who have in the past only used the term Polynesia, even though its only a western term"
"Theres other issues in this area of Pacific Islander American History. We all want to know our history and become apart of positive community movements, but cultures in the Asia Pacific hold with very old traditions, and history in the Pacific is related to position, boundary, and formality"
In Samoan culture an individual is anointed to converse on such matters as a respected Orator. Also history isn't recorded or used the same way a book author would use it in the west. In short, its not just about writing down dates and facts, the act of Samoan history is a formal matter, a duty, and comes with responsibility. History here in the states can be for career experience or publishing credit, to simply make money, spark a conflicting perspective, propagate, exercise a freedom of speech cause, prove a new intellectual spin, so many reasons and intentions are mixed with western education, all very different from traditional Pacific or Asia Pacific islander norms.
Since 2010 the Polynesian history of the Pacific has been under some exchange as American English speaking online networks have connected to Australia, New Zealand, and Britain and we're seeing both good and bad exchanges, but more bad than good.
