More to Learn From Dr. Hereniko
Although his visit was a bit more focused on his 2004 film. Dr. Hereniko’s resume is chock
full of award-contributions to Rotuman and Pacific Islander cultures since 1977.
(University of Hawaii Manoa) These 40+ literary contributions consist of books, edited
volumes, media and performance, writing and producing plays, children’s books/stories,
journal articles, chapters in books, encyclopedia entries, foreword/introductions,
interviews of other writers, short stories and poems, and biography entries. (University of
Hawaii at Manoa, 2005)
Visit http://www.hawaii.edu/cpis/people_3.html for the full list of Dr. Hereniko’s
contributions with a brief biography.
There is a wealth of knowledge and a willing contributor to the progression of Pacific
Islanders in Dr. Vilsoni Hereniko. His agreeing to present to a small audience of Pacific
Islander students at Long Beach State is evidence of this willingness. Furthermore, he
has given students who yearn for a Pacific Islander voice in Academia to rejoice and
made this event a memorable experience for all who attended.
