“The historical latticework of nuclear colonialism perpetuated by American, British, and French powers over the past century clearly demonstrates that the Greater Pacific has borne the brunt of the atomic age. While literatures examining mining, testing and
dumping are substantial and critical, scholarship on the Pacific’s shifting environmental consciousness and united response for nuclear-freedom and self-determination is both patchy and eclectic. Frequently evoked as the region’s first grassroots political
movement, the Nuclear Free and Independent Pacific (NFIP), owing to the foundational work of Against Testing on Muroroa (ATOM) in Fiji and the earlier Nuclear Free Pacific conferences, connected a radical constellation of activists intending to stand for the
people, rather than political leaders. This operated intersectionally, including but not limited to: church, feminist, university, peace and trade union groups. Here, Pacific activists asserted that nuclear weapons testing and colonialism were undeniably intertwined,
in spite of growing anti-nuclear and disarmament supporters who routinely saw them as distinctly apart.

According to Teresia Teaiwa, the “NFIP operate[d] on the premise that whatever happens in one part of the Pacific Ocean affects the whole ocean, the continentals living on the edge of it, and the Islanders living in the middle of it” (1994, 101). To chart the
expansion of this deeply relational and holistic worldview firmly grounded in a place-based regional identity, my presentation aims to introduce how I will examine Pacific and trans-Indigenous kinship and futurities through historical ethnography, visual and
creative storytelling. Braiding archival research, talanoa semi-structured interviews and the arts, I will empathise how these “counter networks of empires” have in some ways redefined a collective Pacific identity beyond the local (Banivanua-Mar and Rhook
2018).” – Talei Luscia Mangioni</p>
