im going to nukunounu in november this year, it will be my second time, this first time i was in my mums stomach lol. for context im a tokelaun living in new zealand, my nana was born in nukunounu and migrated to samoa, then new zealand.
I think you added a bit of confusion by not showing how far apart the islands are, their actual orientation to each other and their size relative to each other.
yeah maybe you could have shown an image of the relative size for a few seconds at the beginning or something like that to get a quick understanding@@TwoObscure
True, I was also wondering a bit and kinda guessed that they'd probably be way further apart than shown. Regarding size and orientation I was left in the dark of course. I think the route that swiftshot mentioned would've been a good compromise.
Bruh just be grateful, you don’t see anything about Tokelau this detailed, no tokelauan is putting in this effort either so hush the mouth and be happy. Because let’s face it, our island is ALWAYS forgotten about.
Please keep making videos like this. UA-cam needs more Informative videos about lesser known overseas terretories. I would be cool if you also gold how you could Get to theese Islands from europe or America. From a Norwegian subscriber🇳🇴🇹🇰
At 12:28 I explain how you can get there. So long as you are able to catch a flight from anywhere in Europe to any of the connecting countries stated in the video, then you are able to make it to the Islands.
Thanks very interesting and rings true to me. Having lived in Honiara as a kid for two years. Plus what I know of Maori culture here in Aotearoa/New Zealand. Laurie. NZ.
Whoa, whoa, whoa. Oscilloscopes? You can't drop that "fact" at the end without further explanation. They certainly can't be manufacturing oscilloscopes. Could it have been a reseller situation? I'm going with typo on the 2019 trade records. More info please!
I don't like to link as UA-cam will oftentimes blacklist your comment, but there's some information about it online if you Google. The abridged version is either they were reselling them, or a mistake was made in the reporting. At least that's most likely.
I thought this aswell, it may be a case of reselling them, maybe the machines were used during the installation of their solar panels and then resold once not needed anymore.
It is technically, but the island itself has no UN representation or government. It is also home to mostly scientists who are british. It is also governed by St Helena. Hence Tokelau is the most isolated "Nation" in the world, the most isolated Island in the world would probably be Bouvet island belonging to Norway.
Hey, My fact stated in the video that Atafu Village was the most populated settlement in Tokelau. The island of Fakaofo has 2 settlements named Fenua Fala and Fale. According to the 2006 census they have a combined population of 480 people, that may have increased since, but since the population would be split between the 2 settlements, Atafu Village is still the largest settlement on Tokelau.
As far as I am aware they are still not allowed, there aren't any paved road infrastructure on the island to really accommodate large vehicles. travel.gc.ca/destinations/tokelau This travel guide by the Canadian government states still in road safety that there are no vehicles of paved roads on Tokelau.
@@TwoObscure I have recent videos that say otherwise. I’m not sure where you’re getting your information from, maybe 🤔 just maybe they need to be updated 👀🤗😎 Loving the story though dude, keep up the good work 💯🇹🇰❤️
there are vehicles and trucks there but they mainly use golf carts to travel around the atoll as its more convenient & the heat over there is just out of it 😂 but atafu is where my mother is from & we visit there quite often 😁 thank you for the video!!
Yeah, alot of the pronunciations are not very well done. The word Olohega is actually pronounced OloHENga aswell. I've never been good with that sort of thing.
What’s crazy to me is that my grandma was raised on the island Olehega with her 11 siblings. It’s the only island around Tokelau that has a fresh water lagoon
@@Evelyn_2401 I have a feeling that both are true, I also found that the 4 stars represent the 4 islands that are part of the nation of Tokelau since Olehega is still seen as part of the nation.
Maori are originally from the pacific islands. The area in New Zealand’s north island Te Tai Tokerau translates to the tidal drift from Tokelau. That is why the Maori language has the same words as Tokelau, Rarotonga and Tahiti.
Awesome video! As a Tokelauan I just want to say thank you for taking the time to research and share. I learnt a lot about our history and culture.
That's amazing that you think that, would love to reach out and chat to you more about Tokelau!! Thank you so much!!
@@TwoObscure sure, sounds good!😁
Tokelauan background but Born in Australia, thanks for the video, always wanting to learn more about my heritage.
🐐🐐
Cool stuff :) Thanks for educating us on Tokelau. I'm pretty sure I will never forget the flag again!
This is super well made, Tokelau is such an interesting place!
I read about 3 teenagers who got lost at sea and wanted to know about Tokelau. Thank you for this interesting documentary

Very good video thank you
Nicely done. I enjoyed the watch.

Yeah, scaling was difficult, I had to sacrifice accuracy, otherwise the islands would be so small that you wouldn't be able to see them.
yeah maybe you could have shown an image of the relative size for a few seconds at the beginning or something like that to get a quick understanding@@TwoObscure

0:29 im tokelauan and im just letting you know that we pronounces t as d and f as h ( but for atafu we pronounces f as a f )
Yeah, I learnt that after recording the audio, apologies. And thank you, I am hopefully making a UA-cam short about the language soon!

great video mate. But please drop the 'voice fry', it doesn't make it pleasant to listen to you. Even though your content is great.
nice video I hope to visit there one day.

Yeah, that was an interesting tidbit of trivia at the end :D I also was left baffled
awesome team loved the info, born in NZ but Tokelauan hardcore
why would you use celcius for temperature and inches for measurement? im very confused
It was just based on the measurements given on sources I looked at, In the UK we naturally use a mishmash of imperial and metric.
Nice video! But isn’t Tristan da Cunha supposed to be the remotest inhabited island over the world?

As a Tokelauan I gotta say...Atafu isn't the most populated island of Tokelau, it is Fakaofo w 600 population
Hey, My fact stated in the video that Atafu Village was the most populated settlement in Tokelau. The island of Fakaofo has 2 settlements named Fenua Fala and Fale. According to the 2006 census they have a combined population of 480 people, that may have increased since, but since the population would be split between the 2 settlements, Atafu Village is still the largest settlement on Tokelau.
I’m sure there are vehicles and trucks there now..
As far as I am aware they are still not allowed, there aren't any paved road infrastructure on the island to really accommodate large vehicles.

@@chachidawg690 You may be right tbh, I will add a note in the description.
beautiful Tokelau its language is almost the same as Tuvalu
Waitangi day is not NZ independence from England but peace treaty between the Maoris and European settlers
Yeah I greatly oversimplified it for the sake of the video, thank you :)
The letter F is really pronounced as an H in the language
Yeah, alot of the pronunciations are not very well done. The word Olohega is actually pronounced OloHENga aswell. I've never been good with that sort of thing.
What’s crazy to me is that my grandma was raised on the island Olehega with her 11 siblings. It’s the only island around Tokelau that has a fresh water lagoon
@@toke-eh I am currently working on a UA-cam short about Olohega, keep posted for it. It is a very sad story tbh and I want to spread more awareness.
@@toke-eh Would you be interested in talking privately? I'd love to talk to someone with relations to Tokelau
Did you actually visit the Country?
I sadly couldn't, I study at University full time and from the UK it is 3 straight days of travelling to get to Tokelau. But I will one day!
The Southern Cross on their flag isn't to represent their Christian roots, it's show where they are geographically, like Australia and New Zealand do.
@@Evelyn_2401 I have a feeling that both are true, I also found that the 4 stars represent the 4 islands that are part of the nation of Tokelau since Olehega is still seen as part of the nation.
..Nukunonu* .. Malo ni Tokelau taku pele
Nope I don't Believe this story of these people!
well you better cause i am one of them
i can prove it
malo ni ko toku igoa ko naki ko au kua 18 oku tauhaga
hello my name is naki i am 18 years old
Okay? 🤣
@@DannyAleniChoise reply! Laurie. NZ.
Lol alot of this information is very wrong, first of all marae only come from the Māori people & I highly doubt it Tokelauns had such buildings!!
