Such headings are problematic as they do not recognize the diversity that exists within Native Hawaiians & this population group (Louie, 2001). For example, the Fig. 1 Other Pacific Islanders average life expectancy for AAPIs is 80.3 years—higher (United States) than the life expectancy for the total US general population (75.2 years). However, AAPIs include Tongan, both the Japanese, who have one of the longest life Fijian, 4.2% expectancies at 82.1 years, and Native Hawaiians who 1.6% Guamanian/ have one of the lowest at 68.3 years. Data on specific Chamorro, races by age group is even less available, highlighting the 10.6% need for continued research in this area. Accordingly, the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) introduced a new racial category in 2000 that identified Native Hawaiians and other Pacific Samoan, Native Islanders as a separate category disaggregated from 15.2% Asian Americans (Executive Office of the President, Hawaiian, Office of Management and Budget (OMB), & Office 45.9% of Information and Regulatory Affairs, Accessed August Other Pacific 29, 2007). This curriculum will use OMB’s definition of Islander, race and ethnicity. 22.5% Within this new racial category, Native Hawaiians comprise the largest proportion of individuals followed by Samoan and Guamanian/Chamorro © Stanford eCampus Geriatrics,http://geriatrics.stanford.edu (See Figure 1) (US Census Bureau, Accessed August 29, Source: US Census 2000 2007). However, other Pacific Islander groups exist in the US but are limited by the relatively small size of their total population. © 2010 eCampus Geriatrics VJ Periyakoil, MD, Course Director & Editor in Chief [email protected] 650-493-5000 x66209 visit us online: http://geriatrics.stanford.edu eCampus Geriatrics native hawaiian and other pacific islander older adults | pg 5 (INTRODUCTION AND overview CONT’D) For the purposes of this curriculum, the scope was Ethnologically, the Pacific Rim area can be described by limited to the following racial/ethnic groups based on three regions: available literature: 1. Micronesia (i.e. Federated States of Micronesia, Native Hawaiian (the indigenous population of the Palau, Commonwealth of the Northern Marianas State of Hawaii), islands, Guam), Samoan (the indigenous population of Samoa or 2. Melanesia (i.e. Tonga, Fiji), and Western Samoa), 3. Polynesia (i.e. Samoa, Hawaii).

The distribution of Native Hawaiians and Pacific Islanders as a percentage of the total US population is shown in the map in Figure 3 (page 6). According to the 2000 Census, 5% of the total Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander population is aged 65 and older (US Census 32% of all Native Hawaiians and Bureau, Accessed August 29, 2007). other Pacific Islanders live in the state of Hawaii, followed by In general, Native Hawaiians and Pacific Islanders are known to bear a disproportionately higher prevalence of California with 25% many common conditions such as obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease.

The Public Health Association of Australia and the Australian Medical Association assert that people seeking asylum in Australia have a right to health in the same way as Australian citizens, and they denounce detention of such people in government facilities for prolonged and indeterminate periods of time. The position of these two professional organisations is consistent with the compelling body of evidence demonstrating the negative impact detention has on health. Yet in recent years, both the Labour and Liberal parties—when at the helm of Australia’s Federal Government—have implemented a suite of regressive policies toward individuals seeking asylum. This has involved enforced legal restrictions on dissenting voices of those working with these populations, including health professionals.

  • Hawaii and Its Medicinal Plants Posted on August 22, 2019 by Leslie Lang
    HOME HOURS & DIRECTIONS GARDEN SLIDESHOW GARDEN NEWS & BLOG Hawaii and its Medicinal Plants Posted on August 22, 2019 by Leslie Lang How did Hawaiians take care of their health before Westerners first arrived in the Hawaiian Islands with the medical treatments we are all now so accustomed to? Quite well, actually. It’s interesting to note that traditional Hawaiian health care includes much more than just medicine. In Hawaiian thought, illness stems from an imbalance in the physical, mental or emotional, and spiritual areas. Kahuna, or traditional healers, might make use of lomilomi (massage), pule (prayer), and ho‘oponopono (conflict resolution), as well as la‘au lapa‘au, or herbal or plant-based healing. Everything works together. Here’s a look at some of the plants Hawaiians have traditionally, and often still, use for healing. You can see many of these plants at Hawaii Tropical Botanical Garden. ‘Awa (Piper methysticum) is also commonly called kava. This canoe plant is a large, rounded shrub with segmented branches that grows from 4 to 12 feet tall. In different preparations, it can treat insomnia, thrush and fungal disease, kidney problems, trouble urinating, chills, headaches, menstrual problems, and respiratory congestion. It’s most commonly known as a relaxant, and is used in ceremonies. Kī (Cordyline fruticosa) is also known as ti. It is also a canoe plant and in different preparations treats various ailments. Sometimes its flowers or leaf buds are mixed with specific other plants, and occasionally kī leaves are placed on the body or stripped and worn as a lei. Kī is used to treat quite a wide range of medical issues, including headaches, asthma, phlegm, and any others.

  • Music in Pacific Island Cultures Instructor's Manual by Sarah H
    Music in Pacific Island Cultures Instructor’s Manual by Sarah H. Watts, Ph.D. Chapter 1 Diversity in Pacific Island Music (1) S, C/U Pictorial Timeline The Pacific Island region is an area of the globe that has been impacted substantially by various colonial influences. Explore these influences by choosing a Pacific Island locale and creating a pictorial timeline of outside colonial influences on the region including dates of arrival, intents of mission, and evidence of cross-cultural pollination in music and the arts. Your pictorial timeline may include photographs, drawings, or digital illustrations of important events accompanied by short captions describing each event in more detail. (2) AA Musical Diversity Polynesia is a region that is home to many languages, subcultures, and customs and is described by the authors as “musically diverse.” Are there other regions of the world that boast musical diversity? Research another area in the world that features richness and diversity in its musical expressions and compare/contrast it with Polynesia. Use Resource 1.1 as a guide. Follow up by sharing your findings with a classmate. (3) AA Your Family Tree Polynesian cultures place a great deal of importance on genealogy, that is, the tracing of one’s ancestry in order to understand one’s own history. In the spirit of Polynesian cultures, research and trace your own genealogy back four generations using the template provided in Resource 1.2. Were there any surprises? (4) S, C/U The Power of Words The authors refer to music of the Pacific Island region as logogenic, that is, a view of music that places emphasis on the text rather than the music.
