Annotated Bibliography
This collection of websites speaks to issues about reclaiming cultural heritage from the world view of people that experienced colonization, imperialism, or occupation. The voices of Polynesian, African, and Asian people respond to urbanization and migration, ecology, and cultural identity. These are historical archives, contemporary visual artists, and cultural organizations that function as beacons to inform the study of hybridized culture for the purpose of art education and art making from the past, in the present, and for the future.

Michel Tuffery, Tangaroa at Te Raekiahau Point Lua, 2008
Acrylic on Tapa Cloth
Te Raekiahau translates to ‘headland that eats the wind'
This translation is what Tuffery was responding to in this series of paintings.
There are many interpretations of Tangaroa throughout the Pacific yet all consistently acknowledge his values which were of an environmental nature and conceptually representational of the provisions of the ocean.
e.g. in the Cook Islands it is known that a figurine of ‘Tangaroa’ is lashed to the prow of fishing canoes for a multitude of reasons which include obtaining Tangaroa’s protection and favour, seeking his blessing for a bountiful catch and offering respect for his environment – the oceans.
Tangaroa at Te Raekiahau Point Lua is included in Tuffery's "Tangaroa's Garden" exhibition.
