- Abstract
Introducing Oceanic Societies in COVID-19 The Oceanic region sustains the lowest number of coronavirus infections worldwide, with Pacific Island Countries and Territories registering 3,057 COVID-19 cases as of 8 September 2020, Australia counting 26,651 and Aotearoa/New Zealand 1,797 - a small fraction of the 28,789.698 reported cases across the globe (but disregarding the 260,000 cases in the Philippines not covered here). Oceanic societies, including northern Australian families, are reviving small-scale, traditional subsistence practices, anchored in an ethos of exchange, self-reliance, kinship, reciprocity, as well as a deep connection to land (Dean; Leweniqila and Vunibola; Randin; Tagialofa et al.; Kearney et al.).
