I have been working as a historian in the Pacific, particularly Australia, Fiji and Papua New Guinea, for over a decade. Having taught at universities in all three of these countries, I am currently working to produce educational materials that can be easily accessed online.

He was my ancestor and looks almost exactly like me and my father. I'm so sorry. I wish I hadn't gone digging into my family history. I'm like "damn dude, are you fckn serious?"
Vinaka vakalevu
👏 👏 👏
I don't have any fone ..but I'm using this account on behalf of my cousins brother...and we all want to listen to all story that is hidden in Fiji about my family
As a Papua New Guinean I totally agree with you 👍
Thank you very much for your time.
Your content is so touching
MY grandfather was a missionary down moru iokea Rev Dr Bert Brown do you have anything on him
Bula vinaka, I love your research btw do you have any further informations about where Apolosi Ranawai died or where he was last found ?
Thank u Doc..u always welcome,,,,,,
Thanks for the informative video Vuniwai.
Thank you Dr. Kristie for the wonderful information. But from my experience here in PNG as I'm a Papua New Guinea, my grand parents still wish that Australia should have stayed in PNG. The old generation in PNG before 1975 told stories to me that everything was managed better before than what it is today. But as you've said, we can work on where Australia left. That is the truth. Milne Bay Province Alotau
I’ve heard that a bit too. Seems like there are different opinions about this still?
thank you 4your research about Mr Apolosi vinaka vakalevu.
so touching for an excellent video
Apolosi's great grandson Noa lives in Melbourne
Really?!
I'm keen to hear more about your research into this space. Have been reading up the different tribes around Lake Tanganyika to see if there are any similarities with tribes around the lake to the Fijian language we know today. I guess this will be difficult with the nomadic nature of people in that region over time.
Do more about Tuvalu please 🙏🏽
Have done a bunch this month. Hope you enjoy!
Hi Dr. I Just finished watching this clip and I agree with your feedback. Today is the 46th anniversary independence of PNG and I want to ask you, do you think this Representative Democracy system of government is working in Papua New Guinea??
Well that’s a good question - at the end it’s not for me to decide. There are some things that all governments struggle with. I guess it’s worth asking whether the government is working to and actually succeeding in bettering the lives of its citizens …
Vinaka Dr.From yr research about AR do you have more infor about yr grandi in Taveuni regarding mission works.
I do - I will try and put together a video about that and post soon
@@DrKirstieCloseHistorian vinaa vaalevu Doc.
Also according to AR followers red money was always deposited on their behalf to the bank and the signatory to the account is a lady...unknown. to this day they have not withdrawn a penny
Thank you for the update Dr
I want to know more about Apolosi R Nawai i believe his dreams initiatives and stuggles are still relevent today.
Completely agree. There is a great chapter about him in Robert Nicole's book 'Disturbing History'. There's also a bit about him in my book 'A mission divided' - you can get that one online for free.
Anyway i could contact you in private.?
I know of someone that can give you the full history about apolosi nawai. A direct family member
