Jeshua Gideon Hope received his new name when he was 11-years-old. He was raised in a community where introduced Evangelical beliefs encouraged Indigenous-Fijian families to "de-native" themselves as they were taught to believe that this was bring them closer to God. As an adult, Jeshua is an advocate for the de-colonising of his own culture as well as other Indigenous communities around the globe. Jeshua says he is only able to do this through seeking learning and being curious with kindness.
