Mālo ni!!! 🇹🇰
It’s Tokelau Language week! Our friends at Ministry for Pacific Peoples released this years poster!
This years theme is: “Apoapo tau foe, i nā tāfea i te galutau. Ke mau mai, ke mau mai” which in English means “Never give up hope, even amidst chaos and much uncertainty.
This years theme was influenced by the difficult waters we’ve navigated since COVID-19 has reached our shores.
Remember to the official New Zealand Tokelau Language Week 2020 .

Te vaiaho o te gagana Tokelau | Tokelau Language Week begins this Sunday 25 October, and runs through to Saturday 31 October.
This years theme is: “Apoapo tau foe, i nā tāfea i te galutau. Ke mau mai, ke mau mai” which in English means “Never give up hope, even amidst chaos and much uncertainty. Stay united, stay strong.” Influenced by the events of 2020 and how the COVID-19 outbreak has shaped a new norm for the Tokelau community and everyone worldwide.

Tufuga Ta Tatau Workshop 2019
This video is a result of an inaugural Ta Tatau Health and Safety Workshop attended by Tufuga ta tatau from both Samoa and New Zealand, held in Auckland on 25th of June 2019. This video should be watched in conjunction with Le Va’s tatau factsheet. Whilst this factsheet focusses more on health and safety practice, cultural and spiritual processes associated with customary tattooing are captured in the video.
