Tokelau 2013 Tournament between Fakaofo, Nukunonu and Atafu. The uniqueness of my culture defines through dancing and the lyrics of the music....they call it FATELE.

Sheng Long is back!!! aww really that's so interesting! that's the close links us islanders share because my uncles name is "Uale"?? it has something to do with his Pukapukan roots?? yes I am aware of Tokelauans travelling to Tikopia but we had Polynesians come from Tuvalu, Pukapuka, Uvea, Futuna, Samoa and other pacific islands io fakamanuia te atua kite koe
@@talimatatia8940 there 8 islands in Tuvalu and each have different style of dancing like Nukulaelae and Funafuti are the only islands that ladies shake their hips and some islands use the kalo which is the same as the Tongan head movement and also Nukulaelae at the start of their fatele they dance exactly the same as the Samoan dance and by looking at the Tokelauans they are similiar to the north islands of Tuvalu
