Finding resources that specifically cover shared values across three distinct Pacific regions, such as Melanesia, Micronesia, and Polynesia, can be a bit complex due to the vast diversity within these areas. However, I can suggest general APA-style references that may discuss the topics you've mentioned—shared values, clan systems, kinship, food and gardening practices, rituals, festivals, leadership, education, property exchange, respect for elders, and the impact of Christianity. Here are some references that could provide relevant insights into these themes:

While these references provide a starting point, I recommend searching academic databases such as Google Scholar, JSTOR, or university libraries for more targeted studies and books that specifically index the shared values across the Pacific regions you are interested in.
