Under its new Sponsor-A-Service Member program, the Department of Community and Cultural Affairs put 18 visiting sailors from the USS Antietam in touch with a local family who voluntarily hosted them while the ship was in Saipan earlier this month. “I want to thank... everyone on your island paradise for making our visit ...on Saipan the best Port Call I’ve ever had - ever!” said Lt. Cmdr. Timothy White, ship chaplain. “Your kindness and hospitality were like nothing we had ever experienced before.” Mite and other sailors were welcomed into the home of Noel and Rita Chargualaf, the first of Saipan residents to sign up for the program. “Every single man who participated has just raved about the wonderful time they had with the families,” said White. “You truly live in an island paradise and the people on your island are the nicest folks I have ever met.” “For the most, they were just thrilled to be around children and families.

  • Visualizing Legacies of Nuclear Imperialisms
    The Politics of Invisibility: Visualizing Legacies of Nuclear Imperialisms FIONA AMUNDSEN, Auckland University of Technology and SYLVIA C. FRAIN, The Everyday Peace Initiative Pacific Nuclear Remembering and (In)visibility Invisibility is a concept scholar Teresia K. Teaiwa uses to critically examine the legacies of Oceanic nuclear imperialism and re-structure our understandings of witnessing and agency as related to the systems of nuclear imperialism imposed within the Pacific region by France, the United Kingdom, and the United States.1 In particular, the regulation of images synonymous with Indigenous experiences during the extraor- dinary proliferation of atmospheric and underground testing is central to contem- porary nuclear remembering.2 The photographs and films showing enormous glowing orange spheres—blasting from colonized waters before they burst into distinctive pyrocumulus mushroom-shaped clouds of radiative smoke and debris—have become familiar icons of various Pacific nuclear–weapons testing programs. These government-controlled images, and stories, are, in spite of what they depict, aesthetically wonderous. They obscure the tests as a launchpad of atomic war- fare to the point where an atomic explosion appears as awesome as the rising sun. Together with continuing colonial impacts and witness descriptions of the nuclear testing, the images constitute a mode of official imagery that aligns a human-produced event with the natural world, namely the sun. Theorist Elizabeth DeLoughrey suggests that this alignment was exacerbated by American Cold War propaganda that natural- ized atomic weapons “by likening them to harnessing the power of the sun, and their radioactive by-products were depicted as no less dangerous than our daily sunshine.”3 Such associations shift images and rhetoric away from the ongoing, horrific, and long- lasting realities of nuclear weapons and their testing.
