“…The impact of Western hegemonic masculinity on NHPI men is best understood within a historical context in which race, class, gender, and colonization have played major roles (Tengan, 2008). Social, institutional, and military coercion and occupation enforced an American culture of conformity and a system of capitalism that was based on carefully constructed racist narratives with inherent notions of racial inferiority and exotic otherness (Tengan, 2008). For example, Native Hawaiian men are often portrayed as violent savages, women as hypersexualized, and both as in need of “saving” by the civilized Americans.…”

We used a convergent parallel design to explore Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander (NHPI) men’s multilevel perspectives of the factors that influence healthy eating, physical activity, and weight, to elicit recommendations for lifestyle interventions and to understand the intersection of masculinity and health from a social constructionist perspective. From June to December 2017, NHPI men 18 years and older were recruited to participate in a survey and in focus groups. The survey included demographic questions and questions about the physical and cultural activities men engage in, perceived social support for lifestyle behaviors, dietary behaviors, masculine characteristics, and values important to NHPI men. The Kessler Psychological Distress Scale was used to assess psychological distress. Focus groups were audio-recorded and transcribed for a thematic analysis. Descriptive statistics were computed for survey data. We conducted 8 focus groups with 89 NHPI men (50% Samoan, 20% Native Hawaiian, and 30% Marshallese). The average age of the participants was 39 years, 43% reported some college or college graduate, 64% were currently married, and 63% were working full time. In all, 90% of men scored 20 or higher on the Kessler 10-item screening scale, indicating mild-to-severe psychological distress. Men described food as a major part of their culture and their identity. Men defined their roles as a provider and protector, with little attention being paid to their own health. Our study found that hegemonic or traditional masculinity and social norms may encourage some men to put their health at risk but may also be used to motivate healthy behaviors.

“…Tengan (2008) explained experiences of anomie and aboriginalism in Kanaka Maoli males as outcomes of colonialism, but more specifically, due to the loss of kuleana: communal roles and responsibilities. Kuleana is not only a responsibility to serve our family and community, but it is our right, authority, privilege, and burden.…”

“…Tengan (2008) says that the 'awa ceremony is a ritual space for transformation and sharing of stories, and is a ritual that has evolved to accommodate multiple Pacific Island influences. The protocol has become fluid and innovative, but guided by Pacific epistemologies and the needs of its attendees.…”

“…The protocol has become fluid and innovative, but guided by Pacific epistemologies and the needs of its attendees. During one 'awa ceremony for the Hale Mua (Note 23) in 2005, members were served from oldest to youngest and each shared their mo'olelo, which referenced something of the past, the present and the future (Tengan, 2008). At the end of each narrative a member of the 'awa crew called out pa'i ka lima (clap hands) and the members would clap three times to honor the speech and drink.…”

This is a qualitative study that investigates how culture and race impact the college experiences of PI football players, how those experiences enhance or inhibit their persistence in higher education, and to introduce Pacific Islander Cultural Racism Theory (PI-CRiT) as a guiding framework for the research. The methodology for this study weaves three Pacific Islander cultural constructs together to ensure that the research process is respectful of each participant, their community, and their gift of mo'olelo (story). This PI methodology disrupts dominant research paradigms by suggesting that data collection, analysis and interpretation should align with its participants' ontology, epistemology and axiology. That is, the methods to gain more knowledge about reality (methodology), should align with the participants' views about reality (ontology), their ways of thinking about reality (epistemology), and their ethics, morals and values that guide their interaction in that reality (axiology).

“…This definition originates from the Hawaiian Homes Commission Act of 1921, but is now surrounded by additional complications (Kauanui 2008;Kelley 2008;Torgersen 2010). The struggle for Indigenous Hawaiian rights has been going on since the early 1970s, with conflicts over land use and resources, culture, education and social benefits (Kanahele 1979;Linnekin 1983;Trask 1987 Trask , 1999 Trask , 2000Kame'eleihiwa 1992;Friedman 1993;Silva 2004;Kauanui 2008;Kelley 2008;Tengan 2008;Torgersen 2010).…”
