Hikuleo: i te papa o Tautai

In 2008 the booklet Hikuleo: i te papa o Tautaiwas published in Tokelauan. It records the traditional fishing lore of Tokelauan elders who immigrated to New Zealand from Atafu atoll in the 1960s and 1970s. The elders gathered at Matauala community hall in Porirua to share their memories, which were written down by hand. These memories form the basis of the book. It was published in English as Echoes at fisherman’s rock in 2012.
