I just returned from the PRiMO conferences in Hawaii and it was outstanding. 

We laughed, sang, swam a little, made friends and discussed resiliency and climate change.   

During the last day of the conference the concluding panelists, including: Annie Weyiouanna a Shishmaref community leader; Hilda Heide the current President of the Marshall Islands; Cristelle Pratt Pacific Island Forum Secretariat; and Anote Tong the past President of Kiribati left us with this question:

“How do we migrate [off our ancestral home] with dignity”.

How do they?
