Traditional Weather Wisdom: In Fiji, communities are using nature’s clues—like wild yam vine behaviour, plus insects and sea signs—to spot cyclone risk months ahead, with scientists increasingly seeing Indigenous knowledge as a partner to modern forecasting. Pacific Language & Literature: A new multilingual poetry anthology, The Ocean Remembers, puts Cook Islands Māori, Niuean, Sāmoan, Tongan and Solomon Islands Pijin at the centre, supported by Tala: Sharing Pacific Stories and mentored for emerging writers. Niue in the Spotlight: The anthology’s Niuean presence lands alongside wider coverage of Niue’s own gender-diverse tradition, the fiafifine, as part of a global look at gender fluidity beyond the binary. Ocean & Tourism Leadership: The Pacific Tourism Organisation joined the Ocean Business Leaders Summit in Cairns, linking tourism to ocean stewardship, conservation and climate adaptation, with Niue Ocean Wide among the Pacific delegation. Health & Education: ProCare celebrated top Pacific nursing graduates from Unitec, awarding scholarships including recipients with Tongan/Niuean/Māori and Niuean backgrounds—boosting Pacific leadership in primary care. Culture, Identity & Sport: Rugby league milestones highlight how Pacific heritage reshaped the game, with Tonga’s 300-game stars inspiring younger players to represent their roots.
