本文探讨了地方，文化和身份之间的交叉点，证明了通过太平洋岛屿儿童，在萨摩亚和新西兰的散居社区的摄影叙事。这项研究是在萨摩亚（35）和新西兰（36）对71名6-14岁的儿童进行的。Talanoa/fa'afaletui（基于对话的）太平洋研究方法被用来分析1285名儿童的照片的“重要的事情，他们”。大多数照片显示了多层意义（例如感官，爱，骄傲，记忆）。植物是萨摩亚儿童和新西兰家庭照片中最常见的特色。通过照片和对话，孩子们表达了与地点、身份和归属感的动态和多层次的联系。对于散居儿童来说，他们的原籍岛屿是他们身份的核心，并通过文化、家庭和社区联系加以表达。一个适应的地方依恋模型，提出了帮助更好地了解儿童的地方依恋，归属感和他们的太平洋岛屿的身份。
This paper explores the intersection between place, culture and identity as evidenced through photographic narratives of Pacific Island children, based in Samoa and a diasporic community in New Zealand. The study was undertaken with 71 children aged 6-14 in Samoa (35) and New Zealand (36). A Talanoa/fa'afaletui (conversation-based) Pacific research approach was used to analyse 1285 children's photos of 'things that matter to them'. Most photos showed multiple layers of meaning (e.g. sensory, love, pride, memory). Plants were most frequently featured in Samoan children's photos and family in New Zealand. Through the photos and conversations, children articulate dynamic and multi-layered connections to place, identity and belonging. For diasporic children, their Island of origin is central to their identity and articulated through cultural, family and community connections. An adapted place attachment model is proposed to help better understand children's place attachment, sense of belonging and their Pacific Island identity.
