Tokelau Fatele 2015

NZ Tokelauans from the three islands of Tokelau gathered in Porirua last weekend and raised the roof with Fatele like you have never seen before. Don't know what Fatele is - take a look and be amazed.

Fateles, occur quite often in the community(birthdays, funerals, weddings...etc). Not only, to bring our People & families together celebrating our culture!! but to also remind ourselves & future generations to always embrace & be proud to be a Tokelau!!! Aloha atu GB!!!!

That was not a competition, Cmon media dont you start changing the spirit of the day to be a competition. Unfortunately, Our young generation are interpreting fatele as a competition always. due to other Tokelauan events in the past, No fatele are not suppose to be a competition it an event for everyone to enjoy not to compete like other Tokelaun events this was different . That is why there was no winner on that day it was never a COMPETION. C'mon TP this is offending to some of us who participated for the sake of our culture and language and to thinks my children and I were doing it for competition sake is sickening. I was looking forward to watching this now I regret ever seeing this. PLEASE get your FACTS right 1st.
