Tribal Pacifica is far more than just
another home wares or gift and art gallery. All items sold by Tribal Pacifica
are genuine artefacts and arts crafted by indigenous people through out the
Pacific and Papua New Guinea.
Empowering Indigenous Communities
The people behind
Tribal
Pacifica understand very well the problems facing indigenous communities as they
struggle for daily survival and the upholding of their ethic identity in a
rapidly changing world. The directors of Tribal Pacifica; one an indigenous
Banaban Pacific Islander and the other an Australian with 15 years experience in
aid and cultural projects in the Pacific region are both passionate about the
aims of Tribal Pacifica.
The cultural identities
of these communities are reflected in the inherited cultural skills and
workmanship which has been passed down over the centuries. Tribal Pacifica
offers a show case for these beautiful and unique ancient skills which are true
works of arts. Each item is personally hand made and not mass produced.
Tribal Pacifica
aims at
empowering these communities to help themselves and value their hard work and
skills that make all the items unique.
Tribal Pacifica also
aims at developing bonds between these indigenous communities and customers
through out western societies. We believe it is important to put a human face
on our products and know the people behind our merchandise.
Tribal Pacifica truly
reflects these communities and the
art from the land they
belong…
