Plan to be at FestPac next yearBy Louie Gombar

“Don’t forget! May 22,2016! FestPac on Guam!”This is a reminder I fre-

quently make to spread the word of thatgreatest of all Pacific cultural events. Aschair of the oratorical segment of theFestPac Literary Arts Division, I want tosee our island swell with tourists and vis-itors. I want to see our streets litteredwith curious onlookers rubberneckingour houses, our trees, our flowers and ourpeople trying to figure out who we are.

Yet, as odd as it may seem, people fre-quently respond to my announcementwith a dry and cold “What’s that?”

For those who have never experiencedthe grandeur of FestPac, you might evengo as far as to call it a cultural epiphany.Imagine for a moment watching all thecolors and regalia of Pacific cultures beingflaunted before your very eyes. Imagineundulating to the mystical rhythms of Pa-cific dancers. Imagine the delightful in-toxication you experience when youdown that first coconut cup of sakau orkava gnarled from mandrake root.

Imagine all these things neatly laid outin one small compact arrangement usu-ally called the FestPac village, where youexperience venue after venue of daily lifein Oceania.

I had the privilege of being part of sev-eral FestPac festivals, starting with the6th FestPac in Rarotonga, Cook Islandsin 1992, and each event tries to outdo theprevious. It’s like living in a magicalworld where one encounters unbeliev-able observations such as when the Abo-rigine delegation from the deepestinterior of Australia’s Outback were con-fused by the salty taste of ocean water.They couldn’t understand how a “river”could have such a briny flavor.

Another event, although hilarious,oozed with political fermentation. It wasa time when indigenous New Caledo-nians, or “Kanaks,” openly engaged inangry dialogue with their colonial mas-ters, the French.

They had a common clenched-fist ex-pression which they all displayed — abright ocher pigment which theysmeared on their backs from their headsto their buttocks. I was told it emulatedthe feisty demeanor of a highland birdthat defended its nest against all enemies.Their plumage sported a bright, ocherband and despite their diminutive sizethese birds protected their young withraptor-like ferocity. The Kanaks identi-fied with that fiery resolve.

One day, our bus broke down and andwe were in danger of being late for ourperformance. We called for assistanceand the only bus available was the onewhich transported the Kanaks to theirvenue. When the bus arrived, we hur-riedly boarded and were transferred.

When we disembarked we were to-tally dumbfounded. The Kanaks raisedtheir fists, smeared their faces withsmiles and nodded their heads in agree-ment, repeatedly chanting “Kanak!Kanak!”

At the start we were speechless at thisamazing exhibit of friendliness and sup-port from our Pacific brothers. Later on,however, we discovered the real mean-ing of that display. The bright ocher pig-ment which these indigenousMelanesians used on their backs washighly staining and it transferred fromthe seats of the bus to our backs when weused their vehicle. Instead of pleasant,

sociable dancers from Guam, we ap-peared to be politically motivated pro-testers in total support of their colonialissues.

Kanak! Such are the ways of the Pa-cific.

One must admire the overwhelmingefforts employed by the delegations inpreparation for FestPac voyages. Manyisland nations have limited resources andthe difficulty in raising funds is propor-tionate to the distance to travel. Duringone festival, Rapa Nui, or Easter Island,could only afford three members.

Guam, on the other hand, has alwaysbeen successful in obtaining financialhelp from our legislators and businessentities. Our delegations have alwaysbeen large.

Like Guam, the Maoris from NewZealand also rely on the use of govern-mental assistance. They usually arrivewith their own chartered military aircraft,complete with culinary equipment andsupplies.

It took four-and-a-half billion years tobuild this bowl of brine we live on. Andarcheologists tell us the Lapita People ofTaiwan began their superhuman effortsof oceanic migration in the face ofunimaginable dangers 3,000 years ago.Those efforts evolved into one of thegreatest achievements of human history,the evolution of our Pacific cultures andthe imprinting of our identity as a mem-ber of Oceania.

The whole event was an observationof human resilience in the face of hope-lessness. The glory of that endeavor willproclaim itself once again with the open-ing ceremony of FestPac on the morningof May 22, 2016.

Be there. You will experience an en-during visual explosion of art and songand dance that will remain in your mindforever.

Louie Gombar is chair for the OratorySubcommittee under Literary Arts for the12th Festival of Pacific Arts in Guam and

has participated in several FestPacs.
