“It really enlightened my view of the Micronesian people as a whole, as well as give me insight to what struggles the people are facing in their daily lives. I was able to open my heart to the people and empathize with them. As a woman of Native Hawaiian ancestry, I too feel the domination of foreign governments and their inability to treat other peoples’ with the justice and freedom that the U.S. was supposedly built upon.”
