Olohega

Whilst Tokelau is recognised as 3 atolls, Atafu, Nukunonu and Fakaofo; culturally, historically and geographically there is another atoll: Olohega or Swains island- even though it is currently under the control of the United States. More information from their perspective is available at http://www.doi.gov/oia/Islandpages/swainsis.htm. Get in touch if you’d like to see more detail about Olohega here. We’d love to hear from Tokelauans of Olohegan descent about your homeland., particularly if you have any pictures.
