from Part VII - Rethinking the Pacific
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 11 November 2022
In this chapter, an Indigenous mother and daughter dynamic duo share their thoughts and fears, as well as their experiences and insights, as people from Micronesian atolls whose lands face destruction due to rising sea levels associated with global warming. Dr Hilda Heine served as President of the Republic of the Marshall Islands, a position that followed a long list of ‘firsts’, including being the first Indigenous Marshallese to earn a doctorate degree and the first female president of any Micronesian government. Her career began in the classroom, and even as a Head of State she used her vocation and talents to further the world’s knowledge of the Marshall Islands, Micronesia, and the wider Pacific, particularly highlighting environmental issues that threaten her people’s future.
