Talofa Kiti and Ane,
It is a priviledge to have this awesome website available… How you both came to choose Nanumea is just surreal and God-sent for grateful recipients like me who have yet to see Nanumea!!!!…truly it is very informative and helpful in finding one’s roots and tracing the family blood ties. It would be lovely to meet with you in person!!!
Just a request (if it is not already on this site or maybe found in your books)
..a)in the area of craft… I am led to believe that each family has it’s own design? maybe on the titi? or mekei, papa?…if that is true, I am quite interested in finding out my own family design…
..wise quotes originating and pertaining to Nanumea’s culture and way of life.. eg… “taku muna e puhia, e moeakina ne au,” or something along that line… I would be very grateful if you could direct me to any materials or sources that may contain such infors.
Again, thank you so much and looking forward to reading more from you….
ke fakamanuia ne te Atua koulua mote lua kaiga….

We the Nanumeans living outside of Nanumea are so blessed to have a channel that could connect us to Nanumeans around the globe. I look forward to more updates from this site. Thank you administrators for the great work. God bless.
