ABSTRACT In this piece, I bind three narratives – personal, pedagogical, and poetic – which at their heart, invoke genealogies of Pacific Islander movement as frameworks for rethinking terms of mapping, immigration, and borders. One narrative documents my father as he recovers from a minor heart procedure. A second narrative takes up terms of the body in my approach to teaching movement in a Pacific studies context. I bind these narratives with poetry, linking terms of mapping to terms of the heart. Altogether, this is a navigation of Pacific Islander resistance to, and healing from, colonial borders on our bodies and connections to one another.

图集中的脉搏：体现在太平洋岛民运动中的解放

摘要 在这篇文章中，我结合了三种叙事——个人的、教学的和诗意的——它们的核心是将太平洋岛民运动的谱系作为重新思考地图、移民和边界等术语的框架。一个叙述记录了我父亲从一次轻微的心脏手术中恢复过来的过程。第二个叙述在我在太平洋研究背景下教授运动的方法中使用了身体的术语。我将这些叙述与诗歌结合起来，将映射的术语与心灵的术语联系起来。总而言之，这是太平洋岛民对我们身体上的殖民边界和彼此联系的抵抗和康复的导航。
