8.4.2011 Niua Community Talanoa, Auckland

Vaka Fanaua proposal was discussed at a talanoa session with Niua’ people in Auckland. It began with a dinner followed by a powerpoint presentation by Dr Sitiveni Halapua. He gave a brief history of the Niua’ people’s first contact with Dutch explorers in 1616. The historical account, accompanied by the Dutchmen’s original drawings, described the technical aspects of traditional multi-hull vaka, which had on average 25 men in open sea. Participants focused on and supported the thinking behind Vaka Fanaua’s approach to strengthening the sustainability and social identity of Niua’ islands communities.
