Sub146 Tukufakaholo Heritage And Pacific Voices

At this year’s Heritage Festival, join us for an immersive talanoa paying tribute to Tongan knowledge holders.

Start with the premiere of 'Ngako: The Collections Talk', delving into William Mariner's 1817 book on pre-colonial Tongan life. Through interviews with Pasifika specialist librarians and members of the Tongan community, explore melodies and dance traditions still resonant in Tongan music today.

Following this, a live podcast interview with Allyssa Verner-Pula and Mariner Fagaiava from Island Roots – Auckland Ways in conversation with Suelaki (Laki) Tiatia and Genezy (Gen) ‘Ilolahia from Te Moana’ podcast. Be part of the live audience for this engaging talanoa, exploring connections to Tongan heritage through fresh perspectives.
