DESCRIPTION:On June 1-2, the International Forum on Globalization (IFG), in 
 collaboration with a broad range of Asian, indigenous and small-island 
 peoples of the Pacific, and activists from countries throughout the Pacific 
 Basin, will present a two-day series of public events in Berkeley. These 
 events will be a continuation of the first Moana Nui gathering in Honolulu, 
 November 2011, at the University of Hawaii, which IFG created in 
 partnership with Pacific Island activist groups. \n\nThe direct purpose of 
 Moana Nui 2013 is to respond to some of the greatest threats ever to face 
 Pacific peoples. Recent shifts in United States economic and military 
 strategies are having broad negative effects on the peoples, resources, 
 economies and geopolitics of the Asia-Pacific region.  These policy shifts, 
 mostly under the Obama Administration program, "The Pacific Pivot," affect 
 the future viability and sovereignty of indigenous peoples and small 
 nations of the Pacific. And they greatly accelerate profoundly dangerous 
 power struggles underway between the United States and China, and 
 potentially Russia, over trade, ocean and island resources, and economic 
 and military domination of an 8,000 mile region.\n\nSome but not all of the 
 luminaries who will be speaking include:\n\nVictoria Tauli Corpuz: Igorot,
