Island Archives - Olohega 

This is that same island. Not to be confused with Ofu-Olosega of the Manu’a islands. Samoans call this island Olosega and Tokelauans call it Olohega

My great grandma is from Tokelau Atafu

I totally agree with you. Olohega don't belong to just one family. It belongs to all Tokelauans.

You are absolutely correct. Tokelauans calls it Olohega aka Swains Island and American Samoans call their own island, Olosega part of Manu'a Islands.

Yep, nothings changed

Sorry about the punctuation and spelling mistakes as I had hurt my left hand and was finger pecking the comment. And while I do indeed feel sorry for the children at the time having to leave the only home they had ever known, it was indeed "just business". Unfortunate and sad indeed but not "being thrown off thier land by some distant government" situation.

Before swains island was a privately owned island in the form of western colonization,before a white man came and made slaves out of the natives and tricked them into what they don't understand as seen all around the World,it was called olohenga and inhabited by the traditional inhabitants the tokelauan people.who have connection to the land through their ancestors,song,dance,location of settlement, religion,tui tokelau the stone that used to be worshipped by tokelauans before Christianity was introduced is on each of the four islands of tokelau.there is 6907 miles between olohenga and the white house in Washington DC that holds these man made constitutional laws and legislations that creates their own made up right say that olohenga is property of the United states government.now the distance between olohenga and fakaofo is only a short geological distance of 116miles.olohenga is a turtle that has been snatched by the American bald eagle.tokelau ke ola tokelau ki mua..atafu 🇹🇰 nukunonu 🇹🇰fakaofo 🇹🇰 olohenga 🇹🇰 may she return one day.
