Canoe Tokelau
Canoe Tokelau is an exploration and education project to rediscover,
understand, use and share traditional Polynesian ocean navigation and
boat building knowledge. It’s exciting, challenging and all about
Tokelau.
By constructing and sailing a Tokelauan voyaging canoe from the atoll
of Atafu south to Western Samoa, we aim to celebrate the traditional
understanding of the Pacific environment and demonstrate the relevance
of Faka Tokelau to a closer intimacy with
the world we now live in.
Tokelau consists of 3 atolls in central Polynesia (what about Olohega?), an area of island
chains spread across the vastness of the Pacific ocean. The three low
lying coral atolls, Atafu, Fakaofo and Nukunonu are far enough apart
to be over the horizon from each other, and 300 miles North of Western
Samoa, remote in the central South Pacific.

Malo! Have you been to Olosega in the last 10 years???
If you have, we'd love to have some pictures and a description from you- and then head on over to our messageboard to check in with Taumafai.
Fakafetai!
