Almost 30 years after the last French nuclear test conducted in 1996, people in what is today known as French Polynesia still grapple with the consequences of this colonial legacy. In an increasingly polarized landscape where the issues about health, compensation, impacts on the environment and politics are debated, how exactly does this impact  the daily lives of the different communities  that make up our islands? What do the people have to say about this?  Which stories do they remember? Which stories do they choose to tell? How do we make space for their voices? This podcast is a curation of voices and stories told in our own words t​​hat remain sensitive and respectful of the diversity of perspectives and lived experiences that exist in our home communities. It is meant to bear witness and showcase the enduring strength, fortitude, resilience and dignity of our home communities. 
This creative experiment would not have been possible without our sponsors, including Pacific Islanders on Globalization, Youngsolwara and the Experiment Foundation.

Mililani Ganivet
Mililani Ganivet was born in Hawai’i and comes from Taiarapu from the island in Tahiti. She graduated from Paris IV Sorbonne and is about to complete her second MA in Pacific Studies at UH Mānoa with a thesis written that focuses on the private collection of Daniel Palacz housed in Tahiti. She strives to be a steward and an archivist of the living word, whether spoken, written or embodied. She is interested in breathing life to archival materials, at the intersection of different mediums. When she is not in the archives, she spends most of her time in the ocean, which sustains her.
