Islands Dropped from a Basket: A Letter from a Micronesian Daughter to Hawai'i

Documentary

The original proposal for the installation was entitled, “Islands Dropped from a Basket.” This was taken out of a line from my poem, “Tell Them” which we were going to use originally for the video installation. Instead, I decided to write something new to respond to my fears about Trump, the resentment I have about our numerous issues with accessing health care in the US, and link it all to a legend about a giant who dropped islands from his basket. --Kathy Jetnil-Kijiner
