A “pala pala” is a small structure in Chamorro culture that is used as shelter from the sun and rain. There is usually one on a farm or ranch, and after working all day, people come in for lunch to share conversations and laughs. “Under the Pala Pala” is a video series that brings together Indigenous ocean advocates to discuss front-line conservation efforts across the United States. This special edition episode highlights a storytelling event hosted by the Center for American Progress and the National Ocean Protection Coalition, where Chairwoman Violet Sage Walker of the Northern Chumash Tribal Council; Dr. Kelsey Leonard of the Shinnecock Nation; Sol Kaho’ohalahala and Hoku Ka’aekuahiwi from Hawai’i; and Destiny Bristol Kushin and Dr. Lauren Devine from the Aleut Community of Saint Paul Island, joined CAP’s Angelo Villagomez to discuss how community-led conservation and Indigenous-led conservation plays out in their advocacy for national marine sanctuaries.
