  • This video is part of the Wake up! Project, designed to mobilise the region’s young people (18-25 years old) on the non-communicable diseases issue and use more dynamic communication techniques to deal with this health topic.
    Video description: Meet Seleone, an elder from Hihifo district on Wallis Island. He is interviewed by Lotana, a nurse, who asks him about traditional ways of life, and how to integrate this knowledge into methods of teaching young people about non-communicable diseases. Through interviews with Seleone, the film shows how modernisation has profoundly changed the Wallisian way of life, with a focus on the abandonment of subsistence farming, hunting and fishing, and the introduction of imported processed foods.

    Tongan Empire from ancient Tongatapu island! Ata the first Tuitonga which means dawn or mafoaaeata now Easter island Ahu o Tongaliki statue moai was built for the highest and closer to Chile and Peru! Kohai koau mo momo were 3 powerful clans live in Tonga or Maui the navigators tangaloa o langi mounds and pulotu with kava ceremony! They mistakenly said that maui and tangaloa from the langi sky but they lived in the stone mound langis in kolonui toloa mua the ancient capital of Tongatapu, They were the highest title but not God! Tangaloa tufunga made the IeTonga for the highest Tuitonga! The mounds builter langis and siaheulupe and Carving styles sacrifices etc not from Chinese Thailand's languages What a joke! Lapita was from trading tonga and samoa with the black people fijian Vanuatu Solomon etc from western Peace 🤗👑♥️ Ata from the East!
