Maluku - the Pacific peoples you haven’t heard of

Did you know that one of the largest Pacific diasporas in the world are Melanesians in the Netherlands? These are the people of Maluku, who are known as Moluccans. But how come you haven’t heard of them? In this EP we sat down with our sisters from Maluku who share the Moluccan story. With much of the history being absent from history & general discourse, we got an insight into the Maluku’s colonial history, culture, diasporic & homeland experience.Send us Fan MailThe Moanan is a Pacific-lef social enterprise based in Auckland, Aotearoa.
